Windows Phone 7 became Windows 7 controller, 3D mice placed on notice

You could pack the complete gyroscopes, accelerometers and other motion-detecting sensors you would like to your desktop — it’s still not likely to be any good at playing Eliminate: Gun Range . That is the motivation behind developer Arik Poznanski’s latest release. He has created a driver enabling his Windows Phone 7 to transmit its accelerometer data back to his Windows 7 desktop in real time. Currently the driver’s not good for a lot beyond a tech demo, but given the several ways people have hacked their Wiimotes , it won’t be long before homebrewed killer apps start appearing — perhaps paired up with a bit Kinect wizardry.
