Abstract:
1. A device comprising: at least one rotational sensor for determining rotation of said device about a first axis and generating a first rotational output associated therewith and for determining rotation of said device about a second axis and generating a second rotational output associated therewith; an accelerometer for determining an acceleration of said device and outputting an acceleration output associated therewith; and a processing unit for generating an output based on said first and second rotational outputs, and said acceleration output; wherein said at least one rotational sensor further comprises a first resonating mass attached to a first frame, wherein said first resonating mass in said at least one rotational sensor resonates along said first axis, wherein displacement of said first resonating mass along said first axis is measured by said at least one rotational sensor using the Coriolis acceleration effect to generate said first rotational output.
