Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...
A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...
MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.
Objective This systematic review assessed the completeness of accelerometer reporting in physical activity (PA) intervention studies and assessed factors related to accelerometer reporting. Design The ...

Motion sensing is a key ingredient in the portable designs built around augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. But while motion sensors are bridging the real and virtual worlds, ...
Actually, I've done this experiment before (although with an iPod touch). Of course, it's a fun experiment so it seems worthwhile to repeat the measurement. Of course most smart phones have some type ...
