Actually, I've done this experiment before (although with an iPod touch). Of course, it's a fun experiment so it seems worthwhile to repeat the measurement. Of course most smart phones have some type ...

We barely notice them, but they're one of the most important features buried in the everyday smartphone experience. Accelerometers are devices that can measure acceleration (the rate of change in ...

Objective This systematic review assessed the completeness of accelerometer reporting in physical activity (PA) intervention studies and assessed factors related to accelerometer reporting. Design The ...

Objective Data on cardiovascular outcomes according to objectively measured physical activity (PA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are scarce. This study explored the associations between PA ...

Most of the latest 3-axis digital-MEMS accelerometers on the market can generate interrupts for a number of applications. Some of the applications—such as screen rotation, wakeup, freefall, single ...

One of the most difficult aspects of selecting an accelerometer for a particular application is interpreting the accelerometer’s specifications. Often you understand your test requirements well but ...
