Mouser Electronics is now stocking the BNO055 intelligent nine-axis absolute orientation sensor from Bosch Sensortec along with three sensors — a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a triaxial 16-bit gyroscope with a range of ±2,000º per second and Is your Apple iPhone 5S a bit dizzy? That could be because of a wonky accelerometer. For the latest iPhone, Apple has switched suppliers for the orientation and movement-tracking accelerometer, adding a Bosch Sensortech BMA220 and ditching the previous Hammack introduces the accelerometer: I think this is one of the coolest features of today's smartphones, Hammack begins. It knows up from down. Built into the circuitry is a tiny device that can detect changes in orientation, and tell the screen to rotate. But do you really know how the tiny accelerometer inside your device can detect those changes in orientation? After watching this video you will. The Engineer Guy, aka Bill Hammack, aka everybody's know-it-all uncle, explains how extremely tiny silicon Sure, it gets a new matte lid that's available in five different shades, but Sony has also updated the 1.3-pound P Series with an optical touchpad and accelerometer Series on its side to change the viewing orientation from landscape mode to portrait However, if I turn to lay on my side, my iPod thinks it is vertical and will switch back–that darn accelerometer This allows you to change the orientation to landscape while it is still locked! VoilÃ , your iPhone/iPod is now locked in landscape .

Apple has just secured a pair of patents that cover the iPad’s use of its accelerometer and broadband antenna. The patents relate to the use of the iPad’s accelerometers in gaming apps, displaying and changing the orientation of maps, and adapting 3D The orientation is usually defined based on the pixel intensities the tracking system comprises a sensor attached to the capturing device such as an inertial sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or a compass. "In another embodiment, the tracking The Amazon Kindle Fire comes with auto-orientation enabled by default. So whenever you rotate or roll the device, its internal accelerometer and gyroscope compensate by rotating the screen contents. I’ve found this feature to be annoying when laying down Google Chrome is soon set to get accelerometer support, which should prove useful for the latest tablet PC devices due for release later in 2010. What is referred to as 'orientation interface plumbing' is now being built into the WebKit browser project .
