Gyrosensors
A gyrosensor, often simply called a gyroscope, is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It works by sensing the rate of rotation around an axis. Unlike traditional mechanical gyroscopes that use spinning rotors, modern gyrosensors are typically micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) that rely on the Coriolis effect. These MEMS gyros often consist of vibrating masses whose motion changes when subjected to angular acceleration. Electronic sensors then detect this change in motion, which is proportional to the angular velocity.
The primary function of a gyrosensor is to detect rotational movement. This can be rotation around the
Gyrosensors are commonly found in smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles to enable features like screen orientation
