The remote control includes a three-axis gyro and three-axis accelerometer combo circuit that can be used as a free-space navigation sensor, enabling the user to move a mouse cursor through gesturing with the remote control.
The gyro and accelerometer combo circuit is the ICM-20608 from InvenSense®. The gyro and accelerometer circuit is used as an input device for a SmartMotion® firmware library from InvenSense that is integrated into the Smart Remote 3 firmware. Output data from the InvenSense library is fitted into a HID mouse report and sent to the host.
