Another ten years ago, the phone with the presence ofconnecting to the internet, infrared or Bluetooth technology was unusual. Now all these functions have become familiar, and some of them have even become outdated. Manufacturers add new features to their models, one of which is a gyroscope in the phone. What is it like, what is needed, how is it applied?
Many people often confuse these two concepts. Let's figure it out.
Accelerometer, or G-sensor - a device that tracks the change in the position of the device relative to its axis - for example, turns left-right, on itself and from itself.
The gyroscope in the phone allows you to register notonly these actions, but also any movements of the device in space, as well as fixing the speed of movement. Therefore, it can be considered an improved accelerometer.
The principle of operation of the gyroscope
The device is a disk thatfixed on two moving frames. It rotates quickly. When you change the position of these frames, the disk does not budge. If you constantly maintain the rotation, for example, using an electric motor, then you can accurately determine the position of the object on which the gyroscope is installed. This can be used to determine the sides of the world.
Application options
Even in the nineteenth century, the gyroscope was usednaval forces and civilian courts, since with it it was possible to most accurately determine the direction of the world. He also found its use in aviation and rocket technology.

In iPhone, the design of the device is slightly different from the classical one, since it is made on the basis of a microelectromechanical sensor. The principle of action remains the same.
Гироскоп в телефоне имеет очень большую сферу application. Of course, first of all it is a variety of games that use this technology. The most popular among them are racing simulators and shooters. For example: the shooter uses the so-called "augmented reality" - shots are made by pressing, but in order to aim, you need to change the position of the smartphone - the camera in the game will move in the same way.
In addition to the gaming industry, the gyroscope is used invaried software. With it, access to various functions becomes much more convenient. For example, in some operating systems, when you shake the device, the Bluetooth is updated. This technology is also used in a number of specific applications that serve to measure the angle of inclination (level).
Mobile industry has been developing lately.faster and faster. More recently, the gyro in the phone was a fashionable novelty, and now it is used everywhere and is considered to be the usual part of any smartphone. Perhaps, in just a few years, a new generation of devices will appear that allow you to project an image onto any point in space, because science is moving forward by leaps and bounds. In the meantime, we can only speculate on this and look for ways to apply those technologies that have already been invented.
