Become Digital Data !

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an idea-concept to implement in my university environment ;to improve their messed up state in technology. The environment is so constricting for idea-development,here in Nigeria.

I have a question that goes to the Developer community out there, with regards to the S60-hardware platform.

My idea-concept borders the creation of a digital-field on the user's mobile device (digivice) ;converts the user into "data" and allows him to interact with the physical world through a 'gateway' running via a mobile network operator.

1. I wanted to ask how accurate the in-built accelerometer on S60 is;with regards to detection of motion-direction, motion-speed ,and plane-of-rotation.

2. Can an application be developed that allows the drawing of shapes and symbols by actual physical movement of the S60 mobile phone (by use of the accelerometer) ?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

David.
