BT Group Wants to Reinvent the Wheel...

The BT Group is working on a project aiming to develop a notebook that can be controlled similarly to the Nintendo Wii's Wiimote. To reach such a goal, they simply installed accelerometer inside the notebook, then using dedicated software aiming to interpret movements and potentially assign future functions.
As Mac users it looks like a "déjà vu". Indeed, since 2005, Apple installed a similar system in all its notebook models, known as "Sudden motion sensor", originally used to park the HD head and save data in case of accidental falling. Of course, such technology, originally used by IBM, was pushed and further refined by many Mac users to be used for switching between views, users account, etc. by simply slightly slapping the notebook case (as reported previously).
The BT Group should maybe buy a MacBook o get everything already installed and ready to use; it seems they try to reinvent the wheel... let's hope that knowing this information they will propose us new functions for the "Sudden motion sensor".
