Hey guys,

I think resolution is ok but it should be combined with gyroscope to get gaming application like wii-mote...

There it could have mass production...with MEMS technology we shd find soon such products..

based on the video this thing doesn’t have very high resolution. To do the same thing in a pen would require an accelerometer with a much higher sensitivity, and greater cost of course.

I did something simular with my group, just without the bluetooth, but with an oldschool serial interface instead. (mouse-control using a wobble board) This was on the 1. semester.

So they did it with a bluetooth interface instead?
Not very impressive for a final project IMO.

do u think this technology applied to mouses could have a mass production success?
what do u think about electronic pen that runs on the same technology?

That’s their final year group project? Wow, and i thought mine lacked technicality.
