The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

Motion parameter transducers encapsulate a broad class of sensors that convert mechanical motion into electrical signals, facilitating quantitative analysis of dynamic systems. Within this category, ...

After debuting in Japan, earlier this year, Sony is finally ready to bring Mocopi—the company’s smartphone-based wearable motion-tracking system—to the US, and while it arrives with a slight price ...
