Gyroscope game controllers

Gyroscope

— a gyroscope is a device designed to track the rotation of the manipulator along one axis or another. Such a device is most often combined with an accelerometer — this device determines the position in space (in a stationary state), as well as accelerations, shocks and shocks acting on the controller. Such equipment allows you to very accurately track the movement of the manipulator in space.

The gyroscope significantly expands the possibilities of control: it allows you to give commands not only with the help of buttons, levers, etc., but also due to tilts and turns of the controller itself in space. Specific features of the implementation of such control depend on platforms and specific games. Note, however, that motion controllers (see "Device Type") are almost by definition equipped with gyroscopes; therefore, the presence of this function is specifically specified only for other types of gaming accessories, primarily gamepads.
