#MEMS: "Smart Arrows Report Flight Stats"

Using micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers in arrows, smart archers now can precisely record the speed, distance and other flight statistics for their shots.


Archery is the latest sport to aid athletes by equipping arrows to record an archer’s performance for later review. By mounting a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer inside the tip of an arrow, archers can now take advantage of the same motion processing algorithms that have already revolutionized other professional sports.
