Question by siddharth3322 · Apr 20, 2016 at 07:40 AM · unity 5accelerometergyroscope

Gyroscope Vs Accelerometer

What is difference between Gyroscope and Accelerometer? At present I can't able to distinguish it because both detect just device rotation.

If anybody share some knowledge regarding this then it is really become helpful to me.

The accelerometer result, I think, is the smoothed result. This is why it acts like a Gyro.

You need to access its raw data and utilise the array it provides to analyse the fine movements.

A gyroscope is a device that uses Earth’s gravity to help determine orientation. If you need only apply a rotation, you must use a gyroscope.

An accelerometer is a compact device designed to measure non-gravitational acceleration. This it is using for movements.
