The Wii (pronounced wee) makes use of recent advances in wireless broadband and Bluetooth technologies as well as motion detecting sensors in its controller.
She compares it to a motion-detecting sensor for limiting waste in water usage in sinks, or for the lights in a room – "it turns on when someone is there and needs it, but otherwise switches off automatically".
The initial hardware Mesh sensors, called Tags, will include an LED light, a motion-detecting sensor, a wireless button and a GPIO Tag for developers/advanced uses which includes digital and analog input/output to connect other sensors or actuators such as light sensors, motors etc.
The ball is fitted with motion-detecting sensors that track whether it's still or moving, as well as whether it's being dropped, bounced, kicked or shaken.
He came up with a programmable circuit board that turns on motion-detecting sensors when a closed-up car reaches a certain temperature (say, 88 degrees).
Those things could include the use of satellite information, motion-detecting sensors or possibly unmanned observation aircraft that could produce objective information that could be accepted by both sides.
Examples for microsymbols in the scenario of Figure 3 are motion (detected by motion sensors), footsteps (detected by tactile floor sensors), objects or a person (detected by video cameras), and so forth.
The motion sensor reports discrete events of motion detected in its field of view using Passive Infrared (PIR) technology.
In contrast, XL-based sensors respond to upper body motions and adjust the rate response according to the amount of motion detected.
These mechanosensory structures act as distant motion sensors, detecting perturbations in water flow.
The Nest also knows when you are traveling; if its motion sensor detects no movement, it enters "away" mode.
