iPhone Accelerometer Apps

The iPhone has many feature inbuilt that the iPhone app developers can take advantage of and make wonderful and innovative apps. One such feature is the accelerometer. The accelerometer is a solid state device inside the case that measures acceleration in 3 dimensions. When the device is stable and not moving it is possible for the internal accelerometer to measure the orientation of the device relative to the ground. Thus if the device is laid down flat on the table it will detect a force of one gravity downwards and an acceleration of zero in the other two horizontal directions. In addition to which if the device is shaken it can detect and measure the magnitude and direction of the force acting on it.

If you have ever wondered how the orientation of the screen changes from landscape to portrait mode automatically it is actually due to this accelerometer which can detect how the device is being held. The iPod touch makes use of the accelerometer in a unique way such that when in music mode and you shake the device it will advance to the next music track.

In fact there are several possible applications of this feature and is a popular feature amongst the iPhone app developers. Some of the application include a seismometer measuring movement in all three dimensions as a dynamic graph. This is a very popular application to log and measure earthquakes and can even be used as an earthquake warning device in earthquake prone regions since it is also possible to set alarms based on the movement. Another possible application of this nice app is placing the device on a fridge to set off an alarm if opened when it is not supposed to be.

This accelerometer feature is also very popular amongst iPhone game developers. For example it is a nice feature to be able to simply tilt the device in order to avoid an incoming missile in a helicopter game. Not to mention being able to maneuver a ball bearing as if it were on a flat surface not allowing to fall down. Such applications of the accelerometer feature have made it very popular.

Thus if you have some great idea on how to utilize the accelerometer or just about any of the many iPhone features to make a wonderful new application than it is possible to hire an iPhone developer at Hire-iphonedeveloper.com. Since here we provide the service of building every kind of iPhone apps application.
