(NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and software IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense and infer data more reliably and efficiently, today introduced MotionEngine™ Hex, a next-generation motion control software solution that enables precise, natural interaction with Smart TVs and connected displays. By combining ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning with inertial measurement unit (IMU) orientation sensing, MotionEngine Hex delivers true 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) tracking – allowing users to control on-screen content with touchscreen-like pointing accuracy and spatial gestures, without ever touching the screen. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nDesigned for OEMs and developers seeking to push the boundaries of user interaction, MotionEngine Hex is a robust, low-latency software stack that enables precise 3D position and orientation tracking in real time. The result is a direct, touchscreen-like experience that enhances usability and unlocks new interaction modes where the edge of the screen is no longer the limit. This direct pointing experience is ideal for navigating modern smart TV interfaces, PC monitors, commercial displays, gaming, and even controlling smart home devices.\n\"We designed MotionEngine Hex to feel like an extension of your hand,\" said Chad Lucien, vice president and general manager of the sensor and audio business unit at Ceva. \"It's precise, intuitive, and opens up entirely new ways to interact with content on digital displays. It's a powerful way for device makers to differentiate their products in a crowded market while delivering a premium, next-gen user experience that consumers will immediately appreciate.\"\nMotionEngine Hex is built on the Ceva MotionEngine software which has been in production for more than 15 years and is deployed in more than 150 million devices.\nTechnical Highlights\n6-DOF Sensor Fusion Engine: MotionEngine Hex integrates data from a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and UWB-based position sensors to compute full 6-DOF pose (position + orientation) with high temporal resolution and spatial accuracy.Absolute...
