One of the projects that caught our eye at NYU’s ITP winter show last night (the program that brought you Big Screens) were the Head(banger)phones, accelerometer ...

If auto-rotate on your Samsung device has suddenly stopped, the issue can be due to a number of reasons such as an app problem, a software glitch, a firmware error, or a bad sensor. Although not ...

Many of your smartphone's coolest feats are accomplished with a wide range of sensors—but what are they and what do they all actually do? Reading time 6 minutes Your smartphone is a remarkable feat of ...

Addressing stylish and minimalistic wearables, these next-generation accelerometers provide speech processing and voice enhancement among other functions. An accelerometer with an advanced feature set ...

Researchers in Stockholm, Sweden have created the world's smallest accelerometer, which measures the force of acceleration, according to new research published in the scientific journal Nature ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...
