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.

Get RealVista Desktop fully working with Flash Lite 3.0 enabled Devices

The great Flash application “RealVista Desktop” by … caused large attention, because it brought the amazing Vista optics to all Flash enabled S60 devices without changing or damaging any system file.

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.

Video: Interactive ScreenSaver – very first one with Accelerometer Support

I just came across another interesting video about an accelerometer project of a kind we haven’t seen it yet.

“Interactive ScreenSaver” is the very first screensaver of its kind, as it support for the accelerometer of phones like the N82, N95 or N95 8GB. A little symbol (I still can’t recognize what it shows?) is moving according to the position you hold your phone, similar to the “Moving Ball” example application.

Apart from that, it shows the normal information like date, day and time.
