Accelerometer

Accelerometers are essential sensors in wearables that measure changes in motion and orientation. Operating on MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology, these sensors detect acceleration and tilt by tracking shifts in capacitance within tiny mechanical structures. Accelerometers are used in a variety of wearable devices, from smartwatches and fitness trackers to VR headsets, enabling accurate monitoring of physical activity, sleep patterns, and fall detection. Their high responsiveness and accuracy make them indispensable for wearables focused on activity tracking, motion analysis, and safety applications.
