Elements of Motion: 3D Sensors in Intuitive Game Design

Standard video game controllers limit intuitive play, requiring a player to learn specific control skills. The latest platforms add motion, enabling games that are both more fun and more intuitive. This article presents a foundation for using accelerometers in game controllers, including operating mechanisms, measurement techniques, and specific parameters that affect gaming performance, price, reliability, verification, and test.
