An accelerometer is a device designed to measure apparent acceleration. Apparent acceleration is the difference between the gravitational and the true accelerations of an object. Fundamentally, an accelerometer consists of a spring, a moving mass and a damper.
A gyroscope is almost the same as an accelerometer. Electronic accelerometers are often embedded in mobile devices (in particular, in telephones) and are used as pedometers, sensors to determine the position in space ...
