iPhone Accelerometer Tricks

Another iPhone story landed in Google Reader (via TUAW):

today, we’ve got hot off the press news about what they’re up to with the iPhone’s accelerometer. Erling has found a way to pull the raw data off of the iPhone’s LIS302DL, a 3-axis accelerometer that’s currently used for noting when you’re looking at Safari vertically or horizontally. A few hackers, like the folks behind Tilt, have been able to catch the iPhone noting the change itself, but this is the first time, I believe, that we’re seeing live data come right off of the unit at a high sampling rate, enabling Erling to pull off the magic seen above.

From iPhoneDevCamp, this presentation by Christopher Allen (slides available). Christopher covers the various aspects of using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, different media formats, and then the human interaction methods to keep in mind when developing for the iPhone.
