My futuristic variant is that around a static magnet there are sections of coils (or a magnetic screens with a Foucault current) with compensation of the magnetic field in the opposite direction.
My last guess before going to bed was that there are three electromagnets facing different directions. They turn on one after another. The magnetic sensor measures each value over synced time. The software calculates the triangulation from these values.
Do you mechanically rotate a large neodymium magnet?
We thought about that kind of concept in the early stages. We may eventually experiment with it, but not at the moment. It's a very cool concept indeed.
And yes, we mechanically rotate a large magnet, creating a unique magnetic field that allows us to track all 6DOF with a single sensor via our proprietary algorithm. No triangulation is needed.
Thank you for the answers! Many years ago, in university, I made a magnetic compass without using ready-made chips. This topic brings back memories for me. This year, I’ll definitely experiment in my free time, as a hobby, trying to bend the magnetic field. :-)
Ommo Technologies, Inc. | Algorithm Engineer | Dallas, TX | Full Time | Salary + Equity | www.ommo.co
At Ommo Technologies, Inc., we have developed a patented permanent magnet-based position tracking system without limitations, providing sub-millimeter level precision, mobile form factor, no line of sight, and resistant to electromagnetic interference. Our short term focus is to provide an alternative positioning technology for surgical navigation systems. Going forward, we want to fundamentally change the human-computer interaction paradigm, to make computing more human and effortless.
Funded by multiple angels, a VC, and a strategic partner in the medical field. Currently a team of 7, members are ex-Apple/Samsung/Intel/Huawei/Riot Games.
We are looking for an experienced Algorithm Engineer with varied and extensive experience, who is also able to bring a fresh perspective on building an entirely novel technology. Bonus points for familiarity with subjects like sensor fusion algorithm (specifically, Kalman filter implementation for IMU + other positioning systems), electromagnetism, motors, dynamic models, simulations, medical devices, military applications, and more.
We are a small team and looking for core team members who will help guide the direction of the company to meet long-term challenges. If you believe you have the experience, the understanding, and a desire to grow into an engineering leadership role, please send an email to kyul@ommo.co with your resume. Let's talk.
