Motion Sensors in Mobile Phones


Samsung S310


Click to see video clip (YouTube).

Samsung has released it's S310 handset, which was announced last January. The S310 uses a six-axis sensor that allows for the detection of spatial movement in 3 dimensions, including
movement speed.

As I wrote on my previous post Gyros on Mobile Handsets – A Very Powerful Tool, “with gyros embedded into handsets we are a step closer to the programmatic use of movement in space over time as a trigger, literally resulting in using new dimensions in our mobile applications – some uses include gestures, orientation-dependent UI, and presence…”

This is very cool – using the dimension of space, and movement for mobile applications – this is literally a new dimension of sensory input for mobile applications… Click on the link above and watch the video clip, then extrapolate from that… Pretty awesome…
