Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials are attractive for haptic interface sensors for next-generation technologies, including ...

[Fearless Night]’s optical theremin project takes advantage of the kind of highly-integrated parts that are available to the modern hacker and hobbyist in all the right ways. The result is a compact ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada. The ...

Accelerometers are increasingly ubiquitous in consumer devices and industrial applications, largely as a result of the advances in MEMS manufacturing techniques that have allowed the sensors to become ...

Noncontact motion sensors detect speed and direction of motion using a CMOS video imager. In many printing, packaging, and general web applications, it is often necessary to know whether the web is ...

It’s really hard to overstate how awesome ESP8266 development boards like the Wemos D1 Mini really are. For literally a couple of dollars you can get a decently powerful Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller ...

As you all know by now, the Kinect is a pretty epic piece of kit. But did you know that you can use the Kinect to pause, rewind, or fast-forward any video you watch using your Xbox 360? It’s true–but ...
