Macbook Accelerometer Apps

Petoz · Apr 5, 2008, 05:23 AM

I am pretty new to mac, and was wondering if there were any good accelerometer apps. I am pretty sure I have seen some before, but can't seem to find any.

I am thinking of things like, tapping the macbook to switch spaces. I'm sure I have seen that before. Also, any other useful, or fun apps would be great.

Please let me know if I have dreamt these up, or let me know what they are called if they exist. With some links if possible. Thanks for the help in advance.

Do you mean SmackBook?

Also see SeisMac.

The Spaces-like Smackbook has been integrated as an option in VirtueDesktops

Tunnel is a fun motion sensor game - I've played more complex 3D games, but the accuracy of the accelerometer is just not good enough.

It's called a sudden motion sensor (or SMS), not an accelerometer.

Here are some that I use:
iAlertU - alarm system app that sounds an alarm when the mb is moved
Tunnel - an arcade game where you fly a spaceship by tilting the mb
LiquidMac - move liquid around on your screen by tilting your mb

Doesn't a sudden motion sensor & accelermeter mean the same thing? as i always thought they
did
