With accelerometer features increasingly being used for user interface purposes in mobile phones, small appliances and gaming, Freescale Semiconductor's latest MEMS-based accelerometer has been ...

Accelerometers are devices that measure static or dynamic acceleration. There are many applications which require the need of this device. One important application of an accelerometer is in an ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...

Logging in as an efficient power saver, the KXTE9 digital-output, tri-axis accelerometer employs embedded algorithms for orientation and activity monitoring to simplify motion-based functionality in ...

All iOS devices, including the iPod Touch, have built-in motion detection sensors called accelerometers. The accelerometer can determine the orientation and angle the device is in, allowing apps, Web ...

Is it time to think outside the box or just give it a shake? Movement- or gesture-oriented input isn’t new. Try shaking a cell phone like Apple’s iPhone. Matched with the right application, like a ...
