Using the Mac Book Pro’s sudden motion sensor, this guy has modified his computer to allow to play the game Pac Man. The motion sensors are converted to integers which allowed the motion to be translated into a direction to control Pac Man. I found this application very interesting as it makes tools already in use into new devices to broaden it’s range of uses. The game is played by moving the laptop and tilting it in the direction you want the character to move and the sensor will translate that movement into a direction.

I have finally built a standalone that will allow any user to play games as above.
You can do this by downloading and running the new Tilt2Joystick application This will allow you to play games and control documents by tilting the Laptop. It is available for free for compatible Macintosh laptops from this link
Thanks!
