<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensing system which can detect desired physical information (such as inclination) by an inexpensive configuration. <P>SOLUTION: The sensing system for detecting predetermined types of physical information which change in accordance with external causes such as an external operating force comprises a camera 2, an attachment 10 including a subject of which the condition changes in accordance with the external causes, and a CPU for detecting the physical information on the basis of image data from the camera 2. The subject is, for example, a sphere 41 arranged on a concave surface (44). When a housing attached to the attachment 10 is inclined, the sphere 41 moves on the surface. The CPU detects the inclination by analyzing the position of the sphere 41 through the image data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
