A method, apparatus, and article containing computer instructions are described. Embodiments may use accelerometer data regarding forward motion by a wearer of a three-axis on-body accelerometer. Embodiments may further measure an acceleration due to gravity on each axis x, y, z of the accelerometer and use the direction of gravity to associate or align the x axis of the accelerometer with gravity. Embodiments may then use the acceleration not due to gravity to identify the forward motion and associate or align the forward direction with the y axis. The remaining direction may be identified as the sideways direction, which may be associated or aligned with the z axis. Additional activities may then be performed using the now-known orientation of the accelerometer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
