Combining UWB positioning with IMU orientation sensing, Ceva's MotionEngine Hex delivers true 6-degree-of-freedom tracking
Jun. 27, 2025 –
Ceva Inc.’s MotionEngine Hex is 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.
Designed 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.
MotionEngine 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.
