The accelerometer can be configured to monitor acceleration or motion in the background while the microprocessor could perform other tasks or simply stay in low power sleep mode. When an interrupt is ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech and MIT have developed a proof of concept to demonstrate that it is possible to record a computer user's keystrokes using an iPhone 4's accelerometer. The researchers ...

The technology and application of current accelerometer-based devices in physical activity (PA) research allow the capture and storage or transmission of large volumes of raw acceleration signal data.

Background Current research practice employs wide-ranging accelerometer wear time criteria to identify a valid day of physical activity (PA) measurement. Objective To evaluate the effects of varying ...

Accelerometer - definition The accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. It is also capable of detecting rotation and motion gestures such as swinging or shaking.

Apple is looking to advance the design of its bundled iPhone EarPods by potentially implanting an accelerometer into the earbud portion that could recognize voice activity, which in turn would ...
