Not to cross-post in threads, but I was just throwing some ideas on using tilting to make keyboards easier in the snapshot thread. Anyone have any other ideas along this line? I would hate to have to carry a stylus when there is nowhere to put it... Joe Stroller wrote: On 4 Dec 2007, at

I think the largest issue with a motion sensing algorithm would be human reproducibility. I feel the precision of our movement ability is less than the precision of the device/possible code. If the code is only designed to pick up direction and not magnitude, then reliability (of valid person

Of course, the code has to take that in account : make orthogonal projections with smooth tolerance... no problem doing that. There is a usb device to control the view in games called Track-IR, and there is no problem to accomodate with 3D positioning and move... so I am sure to have no problem
