A Gyroscope is one of the many sensors present in smartphones. It uses the earth’s gravity to measure the orientation of the mobile phone's screen.

As you may know, all iOS devices have accelerometer sensors (plus magnetometer and gyroscope on some devices). However, as web developers, we didnt have access to such sensors until now.

“Our innovative 3-axis digital gyroscope represents a true leap forward in ST-led consumerization of MEMS sensors, enabling major improvements in ever more popular motion-sensing user interfaces ...

Mobile devices have adopted many different sensors, such that they have become the dominant volume driver for consumer grade sensing components. Managing and interpreting sensor data, whether using ...

MEMS gyroscopes are benefiting from MEMS inertial-sensor improvements. Invensense, STMicroelectronics, and VTI Technologies are major MEMS gyroscope manufacturers for the consumer electronics market.

Murata recently introduced the SCC2000 series of combined accelerometer and gyroscope sensor devices aimed at use in automotive and industrial applications.

The 3 axis motion sensor gyroscope has been designed specifically for FPV head tracking, robotics, movement control and more. Watch the video below to learn more.

Many of the commercial gyroscope sensors in electronic devices are tuning fork gyroscopes —MEMS devices that use the vibrations of two "proof masses" to track rotation and velocity.
