Navisens' core product, motionDNA, interprets data from internal IMU sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer) in smartphones and AR headsets to track a device's position, orientation, floor and even unit. The company uses a machine-learning hybrid approach to reduce drift common to traditional inertial algorithms and to extract reliable mapping data from low-quality sensors. MotionDNA is positioned for augmented reality use cases where precise orientation and position are critical, and for enterprise customers that want to track employees or customer movement without installing additional infrastructure. Navisens highlights applications such as retail analytics (identifying which displays or departments users visit) and indoor navigation in dense urban environments. The product is patent-pending and was launched alongside the announced funding. Navisens was founded in 2013 and is based in San Francisco.
