An unique Human Computer Interface with functionality of a Windows Mouse and flexibility of writing your own Windows Driver. It uses tilt to move the mouse on the screen.
The objective of this project is:
- To understand and explore using an accelerometer
- To make a Human Computer Interface / Human Interface Device
- Having fun!

- Use it as a regular mouse. The Video demonstrates using air-mouse on desktop, a windows application, Internet browsing with Firefox and Google Maps.
- Super cool experience to play games with it. I play Blaster-ball 3 :)
- Immersive, intuitive interaction for 3D applications like Google-Earth (partly implemented)
- Like an Inertial Navigation System
- Future: Use it as an aid for the disabled
- Future: Can provide an Immersive Virtual Reality experience
- Future: Use it to guide a quadcopter or a car.
- Platform Independent Python port of the application driver.
