Remote accelerometer is small device that has a three axis accelerometer and transmit the acceleration values to a remote host. One example of its use is to gather a data from moving object. You can attach the sensor to someone and when he move like jump around, you can use the data to produce sound or modify music on your remote machine. “It’s like a simple version of Wiimote” said Alex, the project designer.
