Inzwa yoxinzelelo, njengecandelo elibalulekileyo lokuva kwishishini lanamhlanje kunye nesayensi kunye nethekhnoloji, inokuguqula isignali yoxinzelelo ebonwayo ibe ngumqondiso wombane okanye ezinye iindlela zokuvelisa umqondiso. Umgaqo osebenzayo wale sensor usekelwe kwimiphumo yomzimba, njengemiphumo ye-piezoresistive, imiphumo ye-piezoelectric, njl., ukuvumela ukuba ilinganise ngokuchanekileyo kwaye ibonise utshintsho loxinzelelo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. Kwimveliso yoshishino, iinzwa zoxinzelelo zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kulawulo lwamanzi, ukufumanisa igesi, imigca yokuvelisa ngokuzenzekelayo kunye nezinye iindawo zokuqinisekisa ukuzinza kunye nokhuseleko lwenkqubo yokuvelisa. Kwangaxeshanye, kunyango, ukukhuselwa kwendalo, ezothutho kunye namanye amashishini, izinzwa zoxinzelelo nazo zidlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu, njengokujonga uxinzelelo lwegazi, ukufumanisa umgangatho womoya, ukulinganisa uxinzelelo lwetayara yesithuthi njalo njalo. Ezi zicelo aziphuculi nje ukusebenza kakuhle, kodwa zizisa lula kubomi babantu.
