ShakerRacer project with N95

Andreas Jakl and Stephan Selinger have launched a new application called ShakerRacer that utilizes the 3D Acceleration Sensor of a Nokia S60 3rd Edition mobile device such as Nokia 5500 Sport, N93i, N95 or N82 to control and drive a real world Radio Control (RC) toy car using your hand/body movements.

The RC car used was modded to accept a Bluetooth connection instead of the proprietary wireless module which an RC car came with and they also add in a microcontroller.
