consumer-grade MEMS accelerometers (as you might find in a phone or latop) may not have the sensitivity or calibration that a researcher would want, but one might compensate somewhat for this with multiple measurements … Dashti et al. (2013) in Earthquake Spectra Journal found you could get useful measurements (e.g. for emergency response) from networks of phones with a few tricks: The more measurements the better. …
