I've seen the program beer on the internet for the iphone. its a app that simulate a full beer glass (see video link),
there is also another program for the nokia n95 called pypiwo that's simulating a beer to and many other drinks.
I thinks it's a very nice idea for a new app for the diamond .
it's not a very difficult concept, the only hard part is the graphical stuff(i think don't have much experience on making programs and graphical stuff ).
i'd love to make this app by my self but i don't have the knowledge for it (any tips/lecture for learning how to make this apps for the diamond is always welcome: D)
but to the point this thread is for your thoughts about this and to find someone to make this

the guitar programm would be useless for the diamond cause it dont hase multitouch.
And the beer stuff can wait.. its funny the first time and then?
looking forward for some real usefull programms
svenss there is no ibeer app for the iphone, its just a lame trick, its just a pre-recorded video of bear, and what you do is sync the video on your iphone through itunes and then its all about timing, you just have to remember when the bear poures out, you run the video using the iphone and tilt it just at the right time, it does not make use of the g-sensor/accelerometer at all, its just a simple stupid video.
But im sure an app can be developed that can trully utilise the g-sensor but that would be a waste of time for developers as it would only be amusing for a day or two, your better of just downloading the video, convert it to something windows mobile can play.
no offence but i think that there are many better ideas than this
hahaha, that guitarr app seems really cool. Sad it doesn't work on the little diamond

I'm a guitarist, and after seeing the videos, i can say it really rocks ! maybe this could make me sell my diamond and make me buy an iphone...
Hi
just google for iBeer.m4v
Br,
lol yeah i think about it and your all right.
stupid that we dont have multi touch iguitar is very cool
mwa see this then as a ****y talk forum for the beer video/ i guitar thing
---------
off-topic: i asked before but what program language do you need to program such things for the diamond

up to better ideas for the diamond

Bah, love my diamond too. So, "la nuit porte conseil", i'll continue to use my Diamond, and still play the guitar... on my guitar... lol
that guitar stuff for iphone is simply... useless.

You guys complain about a beer app being useless, but what use is something as a Lightsaber app? Though that gets praised sky high! I think it's a funny idea, shows off the accelerometer of te Diamond which is bloody accurate and perfect for this stuff. Would love to make an app like that, if only I had ANY knowledge of programming
I wouldent mind playing around with beer app at all.
How can I help?
lol its a idea i found but i cant make make apps,
sow how can i help you?
if you can make it, than it should be very cool
This >does< exist on the N95 and unlike the iPhone, works with the acc. meter.
I had it myself before trading it for the Diamond and had that software installed on the phone.
It was pretty accurate in the way I lifted it, the beer would move.
While it is a "waste" - I think it's a nice gimmick to have on the phone, whether its to show off or just some entertainment - like any other game that would be on it
I would love a beer program. That would be AWESOME to show off with at a party!
That could be a good learning app, maybe in a few weeks when I get my Pro I could try writing it.

I dont know how to make apps
i will make it for you guys
i will make it for you guys but it wont look that pritty at least to start off as i dont have much time for it right now (work/uni) expect it in 1-2 weeks
im also making a Flow type game and i have already made 2 testing apps (a ball simulator using the g-sen and a magic 8 ball app where you can shake the diamond)
please donate as then i can mabey work a few less hours and actually make the apps im makeing a bit better cos ill have a bit more time..

I thing that everybody wants to have a g-sensor in their mobile . I have one idea . Is there any chance to develop a driver or software that can emulate g-sensor by rear or front camera ? Camera can catch "move" maybe in the same way like a g-sensor... Please think about it ...
I believe it was at least done on the Kaiser. The only issue I can see [apart from shoddy accuracy!] is, imagine the battery life being eaten!
Still, I'd like to see it, because it's the only thing I really want on my KS20
Function can be assigned to a hardware button, so it will start only if you want and then safe your battery
Ive asked about this a couple time and really got no where. I do know that the instinct uses this feature for scrolling web pages up and down

Then why not have the hardware button rotate the screen?
I see your point. I'd prefer to just have it running in the background. Drop the accuracy of it, and we could keep battery drain to a minimum perhaps.

but im sure that the great devlopers here could probably makes work better.
it makes me feel so bad not having a g-sensor.
today my friend was playing pocketgravity and he tried making things move by tilting my phone and it made me realize i need me a g-sensor.

Well, doesn't the game lack that feature or does it not need that implemented?
The thing is, there has to be a comprimise.
Get some serious accuracy, but to do that you'd need to sample a hell of a lot, thus killing battery life.
Or, sample less, less accuracy [but still good enough for screen rotation I'd wager], but less drain on your battery.

nope, someone just implemented it because it sounded like a good idea.
Will never work
Cameras have been used in the past for robotics and simply didnt work since they dont understand depth very well
What about combining the Camera and letting it work with the Infrared on the device? I know not all phones support both, but for the ones that do, its a step in the right direction.
External gsensor
Lets go back to the year 2000 where everything was external. remember the external camera on the sony ericssons? lets get an external gsensor
Maybe build in the battery like the fibration in the old Nokia 5100!
This thing must be possible.
I remember the game for Nokia phones, where you were controlling the ball in the maze. It was controlled by camera but it behaves like a g-sensor.
i dont know if this has been done but when you think about it many questions come to mind. first n foremost is depth. the softwares going to sense motion by motion in pictures from the cam. now if you have a white wall sufficiently lit and you shake your phone in front of it, hows a camera gonna judge motion from it? second, imagine a dot on the wall. now if ur close to it, theres gonna be alot more "motion" for the cam than if ur far away. i dont know the technicalities of the concept and if these problems will exist in a potential implementation, but, building on problems like these, i dont think its feasible or useful.
I think the theory behind it is fairly simple (and using the camera as a game input works as in Fishopolis http://rivia.net/Fishopolis.aspx Works on the Wizard). Take a pic A from camera at time x then take pic B from camera at time x + interval y then compare the two pics (get list of positions of same objects from both pix). If the objects in pic A are to the left of the same objects in pic B then you're moving right, left otherwise and a similar calc to determine up and down.
I think it is (actually know evidenced by the game previously mentioned) very doable and should take just as much battery power as using the video camera except for the storage since only a few images would need to be kept in memory at any one time and nothing needs to be stored on "disk".
Some matrix transformations and linear algerbra should do the trick... I'm sure someone has already done this in some form or another by now... Guess I'll see what I can dig up on the old internet.
why doesnt someone just work on internal accelerometers rather then trying to use the camera?

Yes, same comment from me...
How the hell did he it?

I reccomend to rename this thread hoping the solution - explanation how to use the camera view as background on TF3D can be accomplished.
Can not be else than some reg tweaks - but which ones...THAT is the question
Wow, thats a battery saver
But cool is that the top and bottom menu are trasparent!
My guess is that it is a picture theme and the theme is the tf3d screen, so you probably couldn'y actaully use the phone from there.
Thats what I reckon anyway
guys- look carefully at the clip.
it is not recorded - it is the camera showing live stream as you would record or take a picture.
Certainly not a battery saver as it uses the autofocus function which is mechanic and consumes more.
However, it is really cool.
ahhh... the possibilities
think this, and the beer app!! get it... see through beer glass!

Greetings to all.
looks awesome BUT, thats a CDMA diamond with 256 MB of ram and its running so slow to his gesture commands. i have a feeling that it would make your GSM diamonds puke and it would be bailrly useable for the CDMA users. HOWEVER it is very sweet!
So...it is or it isn't a fake !?

Maybe it's standard?
It's ****ing hot to show off but useless ass hell

T-Mobile version is a Victor by design, not that it matters
it isnt standard anyway; ive got one. the standard rom is as slow as it gets.

At 16secs when taking the phone towards the camera he should have took the camera towards the phone: the phone's image dont change.
I believe it is really a fake. The image just doesnt look right. That swinging left/right is very unnatural.
So I vote for fake
I don't understand what the big deal is? I don't have that creative of a mind though so maybe I'm not thinking of something cool that could be done with this...
looks fake given the display angle on the screen doesn't match the angle of the camera on the subject.
i suspect it's a mirror that's used to reflect the object image onto the shinny reflective screen on the diamond. But I could be wrong.
regardless, very creative!
I'd say he just used chroma keying
Hi all, have somebody thought about simulating the accelerometer using the phone camera? It's possible?
I couldn't find anything about this, sorry, but i'd be really happy to know that there's someone coding something like this...
PS: sorry for my poor english
i dont see this happening at all... i mean a image is produced by using light... how would that information tell u which way or which angle the phone is on :S

Ok, but as the image moves the phone could know how am i moving it
Theoretically, it is possible. It would just be a huge battery sucker and not too accurate. I came across this game a long time ago, back when I still had my Titan (no accelerometer). It is called 3D Lawn Darts. It uses the camera to control your throws. Check it out:

It could work but only in a room covered with reference points all over the walls and floors like they use in 3D capture! LOL
I think the phone proccessor would choke on the proccessing! lol
there's a free app (i think) called CCSnake. Search for it. If you can't find it. Then search for Camera Controlled Snake. I tried it but the controls are not that good.

well not really.
Camera take as picture, then asks the user to set a referance point. somthing that stands out. It takes detaisl of that area (color shape, etc)
all further images are taken and referanced to that point. and the program then knows which way the PPC was turned. if you want rotaion then you just need two points.
For all movements just 3 referance points are needed.
This is very basic movemnets and your limited to the area you are in as the camera must see the original points. but it would work.
i saerched for this a long time and tought: maybe you can do it with an other part of the phone.
or maybe you can make a program to use this as a normal g-sensor with new accelerometer software.

There was a game that I had on my old Motorola E815 that did just this. I think it was like a marble tilt game...it worked fairly well as long as you didn't move too fast and it wasn't too dark (or light for that matter, as the camera on the E815 was really mediocre).
Currently on my X1 and i am sick of it. It keeps breaking and want something simpler and with a nicer feel and the snap seems perfect but i have a few questions...
1)Can it play videos on WMP or Coreplayer if so are they smooth or what not?
2)How long does the battery last?
3)What sort of GPS programs are available like TomTom?
4)Is the camera decent and does it take the pictures fast?
5)You know there is a track ball in the middle? around it there is a circle, does that circle act as four seperate buttons (up,down,left,right) because i dont want to use the ball to navigate all the time
Thanks
That's a downgrade of a phone, so why are you switching?
X1: Too many problems, its annoying and has broken too many times - sending off to sony is so long and want a reliable phone that works - plus i want a cheaper option like this one.
Can you answer any of my Q's?

1)coreplayer works great. there is one version that works well. others dont at all. thread about that as well.
2) day and a half or 2 for battery life. decent use. activesync always on and heavy texting.
3)sygic mobile maps works well for me, there is a thread with all of them that work well in this forum
4)camera is decent if light is good. nothing to brag about but it does the job
5) the trackballl is the only way to navigate. if there is another way i would be happy to know. i personally liked the d-pad type control. but you get used to the trackball pretty quickly.
