GSOC 2011: Android Phone Accelerometer as Liquid Galaxy Input Device

Android Phone Accelerometer as Liquid Galaxy Input Device

by Reese Butler for Liquid Galaxy Project
 
Currently, the most popular method of controlling Liquid Galaxy setups is through the use of a Space Navigator (produced by 3Dconnexion) and a touchscreen. My project aims to improve Liquid Galaxy’s accessibility by adding Android phones to the list of input devices. Since many people own Android phones already, this project would effectively eliminate the need to purchase additional peripherals in order to control a Liquid Galaxy setup.
