ACID - Accelerometer Controlled Input Device (version 1.0)

A project with the objective of creating a prototype for a wireless computer input device that can easily be used without the need for a surface. The idea is to use a accelerometer to register the angle of the hand and thereby move the mouse accordingly.

The video first shows the hardware, then my test application written in Processing, and finally me controlling the actual mouse pointer in GNU/Linux.

Its build around a Atmega8, a serial bluetooth module and a 3-axis accelerometer.
