InvenSense - Image 1Inspired by the success of the Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controller, developers of motion-sensor solutions have been thinking of different ways to make their wares more marketable to the general public. In this light, the InvenSense corporation has flashed its wares in Beijing, China at the Intel Developer forum today.

The developer stole the show with its new proprietary iG technology which stands for Instant Gesture. The iG technology was shown off with the help of applications running on Ultra Mobile Personal Computers (UMPCs) and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), which were both developed by Intel.

Intel Marketing Manager Kelley Johnson says "InvenSense’s iG technology and motion sensors will enable many killer applications in the UMPC." He adds "Intel-based UMPC and MID platforms and the InvenSense iG technology will deliver an industry leading solution for intuitive user interfaces, interactive gaming, image stabilization, and dead reckoning for vehicle and pedestrian navigation."

InvenSense VP for sales Dan Goehl said "we are very pleased to be a part of the next generation UMPC platform from Intel," he also emphasized the possibilities that their patented technology can open up to the consumer market.

The exhibition was held in the Ultra Mobile Community area where the Instant Gesture applications ran several tasks using motion-sensing tools. InvenSense views the event as a successful one for the firm.
