Accelerometer in Nokia N95 Control a RC Car

We all knew that Nokia N95 has a built in accelerometer sensor. Andreas Jakl and Stephan Selinger has launched a ShakerRacer project, which enable a hacked RC Car to be controlled by the Nokia N95 using the sensor.

In their own words:

When you’re playing a racing game or using an RC car, you will very often move your whole body when driving through tight turns or accelerate with full speed — but the control itself is very often still done through abstract buttons on a game controller or keyboard.

ShakerRacer does not need this additional layer and allows you to control an RC car directly through your movements - by using the acceleration sensor of your mobile phone. It works in a very intuitive way: just tilt your phone in the direction you want to drive. That’s it!
