Motion gaming (motion-controlled gaming)

Motion gaming, also known as motion-controlled gaming, is a type of video game where players use physical motion to control on-screen characters or objects. This can be done with a variety of input devices, including dedicated motion controllers, handheld controllers, and body-tracking devices. Motion gaming first gained popularity with the release of the Nintendo Wii … Read more

Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Provided the temperature remains constant, the resistance R of the conductor is a constant, and thus the current I is directly proportional to the voltage V, and the ratio V/I is constant. … Read more

Cinema pulldown 3:2 (telecine)

The term “Cinema pulldown 3:2 (telecine)” is used to describe a process in which film is converted into a video signal.

Watt per steradian

The watt per steradian (W/sr) is a unit of power density in the International System of Units (SI). It is used to measure the intensity of radiation emitted by a point source in a particular direction. The unit is derived from the watt, the SI unit of power, and the steradian, the SI unit of … Read more

Integrated circuit (IC)

An integrated circuit, or IC, is a small electronic device made from semiconductor materials. They are found in computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices. ICs are made by combining thousands of transistors and other components into a single chip. This allows for a much smaller and more efficient device. Why IC is called integrated … Read more

Root-mean-square (RMS)

The root mean square (RMS) is a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is the square root of the mean of the squares of the values of the quantity. The RMS value of a set of values is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the values, … Read more

Teleoperations (telerobotics)

Teleoperations (telerobotics) is the use of remotely controlled robots to perform tasks that would otherwise be performed by human operators. The term is derived from the Greek words τηλέ (tele, meaning “far”) and ὠπέρ (ōper, meaning “work”). Telerobotics has a long history, with early examples including the Telstar satellite and the Mars Pathfinder rover. More … Read more
