COVER STORY
MEMS Motion Sensors Stay in Motion
The mobile market is driving the adoption of accelerometers and gyroscopes, in handhelds, digital still cameras, cars and anything else that moves.

Motion sensing devices are not new. They have been used since the 1950s in the aerospace and defense fields to perform navigation functions. MEMS versions of accelerometers and gyroscopes have been developed more recently, bringing the key advantages of cost and size reduction. While not as accurate as the devices used for military applications, MEMS-type accelerometers and gyroscopes are well adapted to be integrated into cars and many consumer electronic products.

Most commonly, MEMS accelerometers have been used extensively since the 1990s in light vehicle airbags as crash sensors. Since then, many other devices have benefited from the use of motion sensors. The latest and most striking examples are their use in Nintendo Wii game controllers and Apple iPhone and iPod devices. ...
