Motion, or inertial, sensors have recently made a dramatic debut in the consumer electronics (CE) industry, playing pivotal roles in several well-received products.   The industry is, nonetheless, only in the initial stage of understanding the applicability and usefulness of these sensors, which are more specifically known as accelerometers and gyroscopes.  These sensors will become ubiquitous in our daily lives, but only when dramatic improvements to the cost / size / performance envelope are made.  These improvements cannot be achieved using the current generation of sensor technology, especially in the gyroscope arena. 

Qualtré Inc. is commercializing the next generation of these inertial sensors, further broadening their applicability in CE devices like cellular handsets, personal navigation devices, and gaming controllers.  Using a proprietary high-performance, low-cost technology platform, Qualtré aims to be the leading supplier of inertial sensors for these devices.
