2005-03-14 rolling notes

CH showed me an app on his phone last night. it's a top-down marble game. you
roll the marble around the screen by tilting the phone. but there's no tilt
sensor--it uses the camera, just like an optical mouse, seeing the optic flow!
JS immediately put his hand under the camera and scrolled and tilted it around,
controlling the marble perfectly first time.

i've seen a couple of people here with tablet pcs, which is impressive. both
have been using the keyboards. quite a few subnotebooks too.

computer, and (b) get force feedback.]
