Mobile phone developer HTC has revealed it is the hardware partner The HTC Vive also offers full 360 degree head-tracking and rotational support, dedicated audio input, accelerometer, gyro sense, and advanced player tracking that can detect movement A researcher from the University of Illinois has discovered that a mobile phone’s accelerometer can be used to produce an unique fingerprint, allowing the phone to be tracked even if all other privacy settings are locked down. Fingerprinting through the They said that in 2009 there was 1 out of 5 cell phones that incorporated the accelerometer technology, while in 2008, it was 1 out of 11 mobile phones. The accelerometer is able to sense movement and can increase the functionality on the display on the Many new cell phones are bristling with an array of sensors—a compass, a gyroscope, a GPS sensor and an accelerometer—that help the phone figure out where it is and which way it’s pointing, a boon when using mapping or other location-based applications. In the teardown of the Palm Pre, iSuppli identified a Kionix Inc. MEMS accelerometer and inclinometer. Looking specifically at the top mobile-phone OEMs, 38 percent of new Nokia handsets platforms have integrated motion-sensing accelerometers since January. In fact, the company says its new accelerometer is sensitive enough to replace the gyroscope in a smartphone. This could perhaps bring sophisticated motion-sensing capabilities for the Internet of Things” and “Mobile Gadgets That Connect to Wi .

Security researchers at Stanford have discovered methods of “fingerprinting” mobile devices by measuring tiny errors in the sensors, including the accelerometer and microphone. The degree of error is unique to each phone because, despite streamlined It would appear that mobile technology is moving to grass you up to your employer if you are skiving off and not getting on with your work, so in essence brings Big Brother into the workplace as new mobile phone spy software comes into play. According to Just occasionally, a bit of gear comes out that makes you wonder just whose side technology is on. And none more than this cell-phone idea from the R&D geeks at KDDI Corporation, one of Japan's biggest cell-phone makers. Spyware by any other name, the Stanford PhD candidate, Hristo Bojinov, drawing a graph of input and response from cell phone components, is working on a means to identify specific phones based on unique fingerprints of the device's microphone and accelerometer. His concerns for the .
