A remote control solution for mouse cursor of computer by using accelerometer

Abstract

In the latest electrical consuming generation, interface to control a computer mouse cursor is usually an optical mouse. At the same time, touch pad also became another solution to control mouse cursors and is widely used on notebooks. It also became the main control technology on smart phones and tablets latter. Besides, Wii remote controllers also became another idea to control mouse cursors, but they are only used on video games. The biggest difference among a optical mouse, a touch pad, and a Wii remote controller is that a Wii remote controller is not limited by desks or notebooks. It is the biggest improvement for man-machine interactive interface. Therefore, we hope to establish a simple and easy-to-use manipulating interface suitable for PCs like Wii remote controllers and use the accelerometer in a smart phone to implement this experimental idea.
