How Does Freespace Work?
When the MX Air mouse is held in the air, people can navigate content and applications by pointing and clicking on icons and hyperlinks – just as they would when using a mouse on the desk. The moment the mouse is lifted from a surface, Freespace motion technology recognizes that it is no longer being used on a desk or table. It identifies its orientation in space, and then isolates and translates multiple axes of motion into accurate, consistent and reliable on-screen cursor movements. The precise translation of movement involves a combination of three important technologies: MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors, DSP (digital signal processing) and RF (radio frequency). The MEMS sensors detect motion; DSP provides accurate, consistent and reliable responses; and RF wireless communication virtually eliminates latency and line-of-sight limitations – all at a range of up to 10 meters (30 feet). Freespace technology combines these three technologies to provide the following benefi
