N95’s Accelerometer controls Robot

We have already seen similar projects like the popular “ShakerRacer”, but for me it’s again and again interesting to see what can be done with the N95’s accelerometer.

I found a new video that shows how the Nokia N95 replaces a remote control and is able to control a vehicle by using intuitive motion control.

HOT: Large Hi-N-Bye Preview

I think you all know one of the greatest accelerometer application which is available at the moment and plays probably still the most important role in the section of S60 motion input software, describing an impressive example of what users of a accelerometer supporting S60 handset can do with an application which makes full use of sensor technology.

“RockNScroll”, developed by Keynetik, Inc., a pioneer of motion input technology for mobile handheld electronic devices such as cell phones, cameras, media players, gaming consoles, personal navigation devices and digital assistants, brought motion input capabilites to S60 handsets with built in accelerometers like the N82, N95 and N95 8GB.

Accelerometer based 16 Puzzle Game

Ah, another accelerometer game after the amazing “Panda Manda” yesterday. Of course this game is just a very simple one and definitely far away from being as complex as the panda title, but it’s worth to be posted here.

Probably you know the famous “n-puzzles” by Sam Loyd which is known in various versions, including the 8 puzzle, the 15 puzzle, and with various names. It is a sliding puzzle that consists of a grid of numbered squares with one square missing, and the labels on the squares jumbled up. If the grid is 3×3, the puzzle is called the 8-puzzle or 9-puzzle. If the grid is 4×4, the puzzle is called the 15-puzzle or 16-puzzle. The goal of the puzzle is to unjumble the squares by only making moves which slide squares into the empty space, in turn revealing another empty space in the position of the moved piece.

HOT and EXCLUSIVE Preview: ‘PandaManda’ – Accelerometer controlled 3D Game

Accelerometer technology amazes users of latest Nseries devices all around the world. The complete new intuitive and simple kind of controlling an application is one of the latest breakthroughs in the Symbian world.

We have seen so many interesting concepts by developers like Samir or Tong Reng who had a simple idea behind all their applications: they facilitated the control of ordinary functions for which you would normally need a lot of key presses and trudge through different menus, by executing them with a certain movement which is detected by the accelerometer previously.

Accelerometer Music Composer ‘Pocket Toshi’ released

You still remember the video I posted about the funny application “Pocket Toshi” which used the accelerometer of the N95, N95 8GB and N82 to create music directly on your phone?

This time the funny application hasn’t been available yet, but I am happy to tell you that the developer has just released it.

Nokia Step Counter counts your daily Steps

Yesterday the successful Nokia Beta Laps department has released another very cool application for users of accelerometer supporting phones, in other words the N82, N95 and N95 8GB.

Nokia Step Counter does what it says on the tin: it counts the number of steps you take by analyzing how you ’shake’ your phone. Since most people have their phone with them everywhere they go, it is natural to use the accelerometer in an S60 product to track your daily activity by showing you how much you walk or run about your daily life.

Exclusive: Keynetik, Inc. announces Hi-N-Bye

I am very happy to announce you exclusively apart from a few other people the latest project of Keynetik. Inc, the developer of RockNScroll.

“RockNScroll” has been released some time ago as a nearly perfectly balanced motion input application which used the built in accelerometer to control mobile phones just with movements.

Nokmote v1.0 Beta 3 released, fixes Major Bug

You may remember that Samir has released the second beta version of his motion input application “Nokmote” which uses accelerometer technology to play games and navigate through menus just with movements of your phone.

“Nokmote v1.0 Beta 2″ had a major bug which let the application not work on newer firmwares of the N95 and N95 8GB. This bug has been fixed with the newest beta which does apart from solving the error message not bring any new features.

Phone Fight – a Multiplayer Accelerometer Fighting Game

I have just found another very cool multiplayer game which makes use of the accelerometer of the N95 and N95 8GB and N82.

Inspired by the popular “LightSaber”, Phone Fight is a prototype sword-fighting game for two players equipped with Nokia N95 or compatible phones. It makes use of the accelerometer within the phones to detect simulated sword slashes and blocks, and Bluetooth to communicate those moves between the phones and to notify the winning player of victory.

Nokmote v1.0 Beta 2 released

I had nearly lost confidence that Samir continues to develop applications for S60. We haven’t heard from him since months and so many donators were asking about new versions of his applications, above all because also the older version weren’t signable with Open Signed Online.

So I was very surprised to just see him releasing “Nokmote v1.0 Beta 2″, a new version of his application which provides the user the possibility to control his phone by using motion input.
