Accelerometers

Accelerometers are devices that measure changes in velocity or movement along specific directions. They detect whether an object is accelerating, still, or decelerating and can determine orientation based on gravity's influence. Commonly found in smartphones, fitness trackers, and vehicles, they enable features like screen rotation, step counting, and vehicle stability. By sensing motion in multiple axes, accelerometers provide precise data that helps devices respond appropriately to movement and positioning in real-time.
