The hidden story of your phone's gyroscope

The gyroscope has played an important role in dozens of technologies over nearly three centuries. See how this versatile invention changed wars, led to more advanced phones and even helped create the Mile High Club.

“From rockets to pockets.” It must have been some guy’s happy day coming up with that.

These gyroscope puns are really making my head spin

Good report, just few notes:
1) Gyroscopes in your phone are not comparable in performance by any mean to that launched to spaces even in early days
2) Wineglass gyroscope is a mechanical gyroscope (IT HAS MOVING PARTS).
3)Wineglass gyroscope is still in research phase. It didn't outperform the optical gyroscope which dominated the aerospace application regime for many decades.

You should do same video for all sensors for phones

A lot of background and hard work during Covid shelter in place. Very educational. A must watch for all and especially for lovers of science, which should be all of us. It should encourage students to study science and physics in particular. Great job as always from the best presenter on CNET.

The only thing I knew about gyroscope was that it would help me scope well in pubg and COD and it's great for VR stuffs but never knew its origin!

"rockets to pockets" Brilliant!

Very interesting and informative video. Great videos from Lexy as always

Great information. I remember buying a Gyroscope, as a kid, and was intrigued in how it worked. Thank you very much! 🙂

Happy to see you included mario, without doubt the best entertaining video game ever. suitable for all. Simply the best.

It's amazing that they changed the Title and the thumbnail of the video overnight 😄

They're good for VR tbh, especially now that we're in lockdown and maybe you'll miss being in a roller coaster, yeah thank you gyroscope for being with us. 😂

The PS3 Six Axis controller came out the same year with the launch of the system. The reason PlayStation and Nintendo introduced motion controls was because they were sued for using vibration motors in their previous controllers by a company called Immersion. Immersion was reportedly spurred to sue PlayStation by Microsoft, but Immersion sued all three major console manufacturers for using the technology. Microsoft settled, and the Xbox 360 controller kept traditional vibration. PlayStation and Nintendo used motion to pick up the slack with Nintendo keeping vibration by using a different form-factor controller. PlayStation eventually switched to linear vibration actuators for PS5 controllers, which Nintendo first used in the Switch Joy-Con. Both manufacturers retained gyroscope controls with vibration.

“The James Webb telescope is going to help us find the first galaxies”... 🤣 maybe James Webb telescope has been delayed before Edwin Hubble was born 😔

An outstanding and incredibly informative video. Thanks.

Great video Lexy! Very informative. Never knew the gyroscope had these many applications!! 🙌

[mahirshahariar]

Didn't explained what the heck is Gyroscope.

wow cnet, putting out an informative, concise, entertaining video
