Stemming from an ARM 32-bit core processor (meaning it can handle more complex and precise calculations), the first launch costs $149 for the wearable and development board and can include pieces like a Bluetooth radio, accelerometers, and other necessary features.

Essentially, they were able to convince the device it was looking at a live face by attaching it to a VR headset and loading the 3D head model, whose movements are realistically motion-tracked by the device's accelerometers and gyroscopes.

Calling it Cabin Cloud, they plan to have the beds equipped with the new tech that uses sensors, accelerometers, small motors, and predictive algorithms to know when the bus ride is about to get bumpy and what to do about it.

On the other hand, a swarm of a hundred Piccolissimos coordinating as a group, equipped with cameras, radiation sensors, and accelerometers (one each) could reconnoiter an area quickly and cheaply, and if they don't survive, well, you can print another hundred.

All of them wore accelerometers for at least 10 hours a day for four or more days to track how much they moved, the intensity of their activity levels and how much time they were sedentary and not moving at all.

"I realized you can download an app on your phone and, not with much precision, but you can measure [the force of Earth's gravity] because your phone has accelerometers," the study's lead author Kevin Lewis, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, told Gizmodo.

Moreover, sensors such as "touch sensors, force sensors, temperature sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors, and vibrators or other devices for providing haptic feedback" could be integrated into the stretchable screen, removing the need for top bezels of any kind to house them.

Among a subset of 23,22 men without cardiovascular disease or heart failure who wore the accelerometers as directed, participants logged a daily average of 212 minutes of sedentary time, 22018 minutes of light activity and 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise.

Instead, Google takes advantage of a device's existing accelerometers and gyroscopes to achieve a similar effect, "sticking" a virtual object on a flat plane (like a table or a hand) and tracking the location of the device to accurately show the object.

A select group of customers were recently invited there to have their feet scanned by a laser, and then to spend 30 seconds walking on a modified treadmill in a special pair of shoes stuffed with accelerometers, pressure gauges, thermometers and hygrometers.

Accelerometers attached to people's ankles and wrists have been used in experiments, plotting induced falls directly into a computer for study, and are now being used to diagnose balance problems -- or to detect when someone living alone has fallen and summon help.

So Hyundai has deployed vibration-calculated accelerometers, amplifiers, and multiple microphones in the company's new Genesis GV80 SUV, giving each seat a dedicated signal tailored to what the car's interior mics detect at each position and cutting in-cabin noise in half.

Other useful things inside include accelerometers, compasses, gyroscopes, motion detectors and sensors for orientation, measuring magnetic fields and capturing reflected infra-red light (to turn off the screen when it detects the phone is close to the ear, saving battery power and preventing inadvertent touches).

Just as mobile app developers have used smartphones' gyroscopes and accelerometers to create innovate apps that do initially unanticipated tasks, such as gauge sleep patterns, so too will car app developers use in-car sensors to create new services in unpredictable and beneficial ways.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins affixed tiny accelerometers to 3, 6, 9, and 12-month-old babies' ankles and monitored their movement for four-day period, which is an objectively cute concept; just think of the world's smallest FitBit on a chubby, roll-filled baby leg.

While NextEV is attempting to take on Tesla, Zendrive wants to make roads safer by using sensor technology already built into phones — like accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS — to capture and analyze driving data and then use that data to coach people into becoming better drivers.

When passengers venture onto some of Six Flags' most popular rides, they will be kitted out with Samsung Gear VR headsets, so they can feel the "heart-pumping adrenaline" of twists, turns and steep drops, which will work in tune with each ride's sensors, gyros and accelerometers.
|

Instead of devoting all the extra space to accelerometers or a heart rate monitor, Erato instead is promising twice the battery life than the Apollo 7s (eight hours on standby, six hours of playback), and the company put bigger drivers in the Rio 3 earbuds as well.
|

Accelerometers and other activity trackers are more reliable ways to examine the connection between longevity and exercise habits because they offer a more accurate picture of how much time people devote to exercise as well as how hard they work out and how much time they're sedentary in a typical day.
|
|
It also has built-in 802.11n wifi, Bluetooth, capacitive touch sensors so you can pet it like a cat, accelerometers so it knows to get angry when you pick it up without its permission, a four mic array for listening for commands, and an HD camera with a 120 degree field of view.

Taken in their breadth, they speak to the many sources of information Facebook could tap to learn more about us and our real-world social networks, thanks in large part to the sophisticated surveillance tools built by default into our smartphones, such as accelerometers, gyrometers, microphones, cameras, and endless, sprawling contact books.

A compact gimbal for mirrorless camerasCost$440LikeSupremely portable and easy to useNo likeBalancing still takes some effortBesides its attractive size, the Ronin-SC gets some advanced DJI features like ActiveTrack 73, which enables the camera to follow a subject automatically, and Force Mobile, which uses the accelerometers in your phone to remotely control camera movement.

Similar to MindMaze, Gait Up had an ambition to build both a software platform coupled with hardware developments, in its case, in the area of analyzing human movement in very precise increments using inertial sensors, or systems that combine a mix of computers, motion sensors like accelerometers and rotation sensors to calculate movement without the need for external references.

Those extra holes actually house optical sensors with accelerometers — meaning your headphones know as much about your environment as your phone does Though, pair isn't even the right word to use: Because they're armed with Apple's W1 chip, you'll get seamless connection between your AirPods (and anything signed into your iCloud account) without having to go to the Bluetooth menu or wait for pairing.

"My understanding is that the current generation of phones contain more sophisticated accelerometers that indicate when the phone is held next to the head and automatically put the phone on the lowest power possible, in order to both save battery life and reduce [RF] exposure to the brain or body, which would indicate a recognition of the need to reduce exposures directly to people," said Davis, who is also a visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
