Sensor Fundamentals for Motion & Environment

Physics

Accelerometer (Specific Force)

MEMS accelerometers measure specific force (including gravity). You derive linear acceleration by removing g via filtering or sensor fusion.

IMU

Physics

Gyroscope (Angular Velocity)

MEMS gyros output ω about device axes. Drift accumulates; fuse with accelerometer/magnetometer (e.g., complementary/Kalman/Madgwick) for stable orientation.

IMU

Field Sensing

Magnetometer (Compass/Heading)

Tri‑axis magnetometers measure Earth’s field vector. Requires hard/soft‑iron calibration and tilt compensation to get heading.

Geomagnetic

Environment

Barometer (Altitude & Weather)

Air pressure sensors enable floor‑level changes (~0.1–0.2 m) and weather trends. Combine with temperature for corrections.

Pressure

Optical

Camera PPG (Heart Rate)

Phone camera + LED can capture photoplethysmography signals at fingertips. Use green channel, band‑pass filter, peak detect for HR.

Vitals

Audio

Ultrasound & Proximity Cues

Microphones/speakers can do short‑range ranging and event detection (claps, leaks). Respect OS sample‑rate, filtering, and privacy.

Acoustics

Radio

BLE Beacons & RSSI

BLE advertising + RSSI enables room‑level presence. Calibrate path‑loss; use smoothing and dwell logic to reduce flicker.

Bluetooth

Positioning

GNSS + Sensor Fusion

GPS/GLONASS/Galileo give absolute position outdoors. Fuse with IMU for dead‑reckoning and with barometer for vertical movement.

Location

Lighting

Ambient/Proximity Sensors

Ambient light informs auto‑brightness; proximity gates touch/gestures near the ear. Useful for context‑aware UI.

ALS/Prox

Technique

Sampling, Filtering, Calibration

Set proper sample rates (e.g., 50–200 Hz for motion), apply low/high/band‑pass filters, and run one‑time + runtime calibration.

Best Practices

Fusion

Orientation & Activity

Combine accel+gyro+mag for attitude (quaternions). Classify activities via time/frequency features or tiny ML models.
