Game On - Prototype

Image
About a month back i posted about a project on controlling a pong game running on the computer with the help of a mobile phone (Samsung Wave S8500 - Bada OS) used for the paddles. Now we ( ankur and me) decided to take it to the next level and went on to make a generic game controller for any game running on the computer using android.The application name is " GAME ON " For this we make use of the phone's sensors and touch screen to generate different gestures and motion events; used these events to generate control data and sent the control data over a socket to the computer over a wireless network. Now using the received data (different for each motion event or gesture) the computer performs a certain task.
