A motion controller is a programmable device that manages connected electronic drives and motors to perform specific functions for automating and controlling machinery. There are two different types of motion control systems: open loop and closed loop systems. The basic difference between the two is that open loop systems do not use feedback; closed systems do use feedback.
In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control. In video games and entertainment systems, a motion controller is a type of game controller that uses accelerometers or other sensors to track motion and provide input.
Motion controllers are hardware accessories that allow users to take action in mixed reality. An advantage of motion controllers over gestures is that the controllers have a precise position in space, allowing for fine-grained interaction with digital objects.
