...accelerometer inside the Nokia N95 (and probably N95 8GB and N82) to emulate a mouse. Im wondering if this can be used in the future to control a 3D interface since the accelerometers inside current Nseries devices supports that third Z axis Were definitely living in some interesting times and this video has further reinforced my feelings...

...accelerometer - a device that measures vibration, tilt, motion with and without the influence of gravity. What makes the accelerometer even more interesting is that it actually is a very basic device that is very cheap to produce. Theres no magic involved, really. Im not sure, but from what I remember from the TIME article, the accelerometer...

...accelerometer so crap at steering? An EA developer put it this way: "Think of it as a loose analog stick...you get lots of random data As developers have more time to figure out their various iPhone accelerometer smoothing algorithms, controls should get better (just as they did after the Wii's release), but using the accelerometer to steer...

...Accelerometer Mouse Pointer . I think in time these types of input devices will be in everything allowing for added functionality. I can think of lots of great applications on cell phones for example, I would like to have a Google Maps up on my phone and simply tilt it in the direction I want to go. Looks like the site is still being updated...

DIY - How to Make a Wireless Accelerometer Mouse Pointer!

2008-06-05 17:22:37 by max in zedomax.com
 
...accelerometer can be utilized in getting Dynamic or Static acceleration profile of movement to move cursor of mouse or Gyroscope to even rotate 3-D object. We propose a technique on same principle to convert acceleration profile of accelerometer into distance with double integration. Accuracy might be issue as errors keeps on adding in double...

...accelerometer By utilising the anti-blur algorithm, the application will hold off the shutter until the camera is steady. That is, it will wait until the acceleromter returns a small change in G-force. Once the camera is stable, the photo is automatically clicked Apart from that, Glogger also supports automatic geo-tagging of captured images...

...accelerometer in your laptop is meant to interrupt hard drive activity in case of a fall or sudden jolt, but it can also be used to detect seismic activity . Similar to other distributed computing efforts like SETI@home and Folding@home (join one if you havent already), each client would be running software and reporting to a central server....
