Motion Detection For Mobile Phones

Motion Detection has been in a number of devices for a while now, but until the appearance of the Nintendo WII’s motion detecting wireless controllers, it wasn’t widely exploited as a component of the user interface (UI). When Apple splashed its upcoming iPhone at MacWorld, motion detection as part of the UI was one of the breakthrough features as well. Clearly this is an idea that’s time has come as reflected in this article about New Japanese mobile phones that tap into the motion detection UI craze.
These early examples of motion detection capabilities for UIs are likely only the beginning. Expect to soon see more and better implementations since it appears that this technology is now moving into rapid adoption.
