Best IMU for position tracking of hand-held devices? BMI088 vs BMI260? or something else ?

[mdboze]

What is the best IMU for position tracking of hand-held devices?  Goal  Hand motion 6DoF tracking ; to see movement difference between two sensors. 

I am looking at the BMI088 vs BMI260 (and others); possibly BHI380, but I can't find details specs on its IMU.

BMI088 :  Bias Instability 2°/h ; zero-offset A:30mg   G: 1dps ; Noise Density A: 230uG/Hz  G: 0.015dps/hz ; A/G sensitivity error ???%
BMI260 :  Bias Instability ?°/h ; zero-offset A:20mg   G: 0.5dps ; Noise Density A: 160uG/Hz  G: 0.008dps/hz ; A/G sensitivity error 0.4%

The BMI260 has self-calibrating gyroscope. 

Suggestions for best IMU for position tracking of hand-held devices ; human hand-held motion. 20 minutes max time tracking. 

And are there any examples of IMU position tracking that we can build on ?

Hi mdboze,

Thank for your inquiry.
For position tracking application, we recommended to use BHI260AP because it integrated firmware which support the position tracking function.
You can refer to BHI260AP product flyer https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/media/boschsensortec/downloads/product_flyer/bst-bhi260ap-fl000.pdf....

If you design a project with BHI260AP and request more detailed information about position tracking, you can get in contact with one of our official distributors or sales representatives to allow us to review each project on a case-by-case basis, and apply for the detailed information.
