  • Session 4 Motion Sensing with Accelerometers – Present and Future
    Session 4 Motion Sensing with Accelerometers – Present and Future Keith Epstein, Joseph O’Leary Kionix, Inc. Abstract Motion sensitive devices are quickly becoming an accepted and expected part of our lives. Our vehicles, computers, cell phones, MP3 players, game consoles, and even our sneakers are measuring motion to enhance their functionality. The sensor that has enabled these applications is the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometer. Within the past few years, the price, performance, and size of MEMS accelerometers have achieved a level that has enticed designers to include them in many consumer electronic devices. Motion sensing vehicles automatically correct for driver error to keep us safe on the road. Notebook computers protect their hard disk drives from damage due to a fall. Pedometers in mobile phones, MP3 players, and sneakers help us maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. We can now play video games with intuitive motion and gesture-based controls. The number of applications for accelerometers will increase in the future. The driving force behind this expansion, besides the cost, performance, and size of the sensors, will be user expectation. System designers, engineers, programmers, and students will learn, through experience, the capabilities of the sensors and will develop new algorithms to enhance the motion sensing experience. Introduction The age of motion sensing has arrived. Nearly every automobile manufacturer offers vehicles with Electronic Stability Control. Apple Computer, IBM/Lenovo, Samsung, Nokia, LG, Nike, and many other companies make products with motion-enabled features. The two next- generation game consoles that will be released in November 2006, the Sony Playstation3 (PS3) and the Nintendo Wii, will both feature motion-sensing controllers.
