Mobile Sensors Exploitation

We show that the MEMS gyroscopes found on modern smart phones are sufficiently sensitive to measure acoustic signals in the vicinity of the phone.

In the shot below we have Chrome running with 3 tabs, LibreOffice Writer with an empty document and GIMP without any image file opened. Combined they are already taking about 400 megs and the number will grow a lot once you get going with your work, whatever it is. So if you want to save some RAM, you need to choose lighter weight applications, but they are rarely full-featured.
