Video: Nokoshop – Accelerometer Painting through Motion Control

The developer himself just kindly informed me about another interesting accelerometer application with a totally new concept.

Developed by Luis Figueiredo, the application is the very first piece of software which uses the built in acceleromter of phones like the N95 or N95 8GB to paint with motion input.

As you can see in the video, you can move the cursor by changing the angle your phone is held in. To paint, you must hold the center key. All the places where the cursor is located will shine in the colour you have chosen.
Yes, you can even select between different colours by using the keyboard. But not only a different colour is possible, also the brush size and opacity can manually be selcted.

I don’t think drawing with this kind is not that easy, but it looks really like fun.

The developer thinks about adding a brush editor, masked drawing, different type of tools (brush, brush effects) and even layers!
Although the application is still in early development, the motion painting concept is a great idea and looks already in this early state very nice.

You may have noticed that I called the application “Nokoshop”, but that’s not the final application’s name, just a thought of the developer.

Edit: You can download the application here now.
