Handheld devices including smartphones and Tablet PCs have touch screens and many buttons for different functions. In order to save battery power, if the screen is not touched or the button is not ...
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 ...
Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
“Motion Cookies,” smart-connected devices for the Internet of Things developed by Sen.se, use STMicroelectronic’s “nano” LIS3DH accelerometer to detect and understand the movements of objects and send ...
Motion parameter transducers encapsulate a broad class of sensors that convert mechanical motion into electrical signals, facilitating quantitative analysis of dynamic systems. Within this category, ...
