Just in the past two years, motion sensing technologies have begun appearing everywhere – video consoles, smart phones, TV remote controls and personal training devices – as we geo-tag our cell phone ...

Geneva, Switzerland — STMicroelectronics has added a power- and cost-optimized 3-axis accelerometer to its family of ultra-compact low-g linear accelerometers. Targeting customer demand for ...

Accelerometers are increasingly ubiquitous in consumer devices and industrial applications, largely as a result of the advances in MEMS manufacturing techniques that have allowed the sensors to become ...

In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...

The motion-processing M7 chip in the new iPhone 5S will serve as an aid to fitness-tracking apps, says Apple. But over the long term, the chip could help advance gesture-recognition apps and ...

The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that ...

It is well documented that meeting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity guidelines of 150 min per week is protective against chronic disease, and this is likely explained by higher energy ...

Expanding the company's family of compact low-g linear accelerometers, the analog-output LIS302ALK provides individual acceleration values for all three axes. The sensor resides in a 5 mm x 3 mm x 0.9 ...

Your Android phone hides powerful sensors that already handle navigation, security, and automation, but rarely get used ...
