michael Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Seems the phone has got a built in accelerometer and tri-axis sensors - you can download demo software to try it out (ball on-screen controlled by moving/tilting phone around) - quite neat, wonder what the actual plan for it is though - maybe that MARA thing on my second link? http://research.nokia.com/projects/activity_monitor (Scroll down past activity monitor and find the moving ball app) I can't install stuff to the phone from work but if you try it out today let me know what it's like. http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/mara/index.html How long before someone turns it into an Apexi RSM type application that can be used with the Sport Tracker type technology to do data logging? If you haven't got Sport Tracker you should grab a copy - export your data to Google maps and you can see your route, fastest points etc, just don't let the police get hold of the data http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Moving ball is on and works fine. The phone doesn't turn it on it's side, goes into landscape mode, flip it back, into portrait. Is that a seperate download, couldn't see it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The sony k850i has this too only realised when i was trying to play one of the games, called marble madness, which uses the tilting etc to control the ball, i couldn't understand why the ball kept falling off the screen its clever what they can jam inside a small mobile phone now a days.
