The Basics of Motion Sensors

Before we even reached this point of our time in which we have such advanced technology, we had already envisioned a world that is like this and maybe something more.
One of the goals that most men, scientists, or not, desired, is that we would be able to move a lot things or anything else for that matter with just our typical body movements. And this is where the development of motion sensing technology comes in. It is one of the areas in technology nowadays that we keep on developing. But how do they even work?
