I've stumbled on this on androidguys.com

Very snazzy, using the G1 as a 3D controller.

"project semi abandoned since the digital compass of the HTC dev phone is acting up when the phone is upside down"




thats from the website... that doesnt make any sense to me.


it seems to be working greatt, maybe a few more improvements then it cud really work as a wii controller.. not sure why developer just gave up on it..

Well, since Android 1.5 is available, perhaps more testing would be warranted...

If the real Wii remote just uses Bluetooth, can the Android phone be used as a real Wii remote?

In theory that should work. It won't be nearly as accurate as a wiimote though.

Why would it be less accurate than the Wiimote? Wiimote uses ADXL330 and HTC Dream apparently uses AK8976A.

Of course it can't be used as a pointer (unless you hook it up to the camera too :D), but you could still get a bunch of people playing mario kart together without buying extra controllers.
