A Gyroscope is one of the many sensors present in smartphones. It uses the earth’s gravity to measure the orientation of the mobile phone's screen.

As you may know, all iOS devices have accelerometer sensors (plus magnetometer and gyroscope on some devices). However, as web developers, we didnt have access to such sensors until now.

Sensor types supported in the key mobile operating systems To further illustrate the similarity and differences among the OS’s, the remainder of this article focuses on how well they support inertial ...

Many of the commercial gyroscope sensors in electronic devices are tuning fork gyroscopes —MEMS devices that use the vibrations of two "proof masses" to track rotation and velocity.

Murata recently introduced the SCC2000 series of combined accelerometer and gyroscope sensor devices aimed at use in automotive and industrial applications.

Mobile devices have adopted many different sensors, such that they have become the dominant volume driver for consumer grade sensing components. Managing and interpreting sensor data, whether using ...
