An accelerometer is the ubiquitous little sensor that tells your tablet when to flip orientation or informs the brain of your quadcopter how closely its actual actions are matching your desired one… ...

Accelerometers are likewise used in cars as the industry ... An accelerator looks like a simple circuit for some ... two of which are the piezoelectric effect and the capacitance sensor.

The sensor could mean new capabilities in fitness trackers and smartphones, which already use accelerometers for swimming, walking, and running data, among others.
