Interactive video games are becoming increasingly popular. The new "Tilt Sensing Using Linear Accelerometers" application note explains the importance of understanding how to acquire a reliable and accurate tilt reading for accelerometer applications by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various tilt measurement techniques. Accelerometers used for tilt sensing require high resolution to meet the demands of many new emerging applications, such as motion enabled video games, tilt enabled computer mouse/pointers and PDA-cell phone/mp3 player screen navigation.
