MEMS gyroscopes are motion sensors that detect and measure the angular motion of an object. It measures the rate of rotation of an object around a particular axis. 1-axis, 2-axis, and 3-axis gyroscopes, capable of measuring velocity in three directions, are available in the market. Currently, 3-axis gyroscopes are combined with 3-axis accelerometers and 3-axis magnetometers to achieve 9 DOF, and these are generally used in consumer electronics. The increased demand for mobile devices has propelled the growth of the MEMS Gyroscopes market.

Optical isolators are passive devices that allow light to be transmitted in only one direction. They are most often used to prevent any light from reflecting back down the optical fiber, as this light would enter the source and cause backscattering and feedback problems. This is especially important for high data rate transceivers and transponders, or those devices requiring long span lengths between transceiver pairs. Optical feedback degrades signal-to-noise ratio and consequently bit-error rate.

About Action Cameras
Action cameras are used to capture extreme action sports or activities. These cameras can capture high-speed and high-quality images. Regular cameras are incapable of capturing high-speed actions and are not designed for rugged conditions, including extreme weather. By contrast, action cameras are compact, lightweight, designed for rugged conditions, and can be worn by the person or mounted on vehicles.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Action Camera market to grow at a CAGR of 22.2 percent over the period 2014-2019.
