[Req]:using phone as a mouse usb/bluetooth

[digitalD]

Hi devs,

I was wondering if we can use E6 (or any other camera phone for that matter) as an optical mouse which can communicate with a computer through USB cable or bluetooth.

i think if developers set their mind to it, it shouldn't be a difficult task to accomplish..

what say guys.. ?

you mean something like HID profiles?

I think only Sony Ericsson handsets support HID.

check out the below links

examples


(I have used HID in my K700i and the application was useful.. especially while watching movies )

thats a great piece of software g4m3rz. as far as the original request is concerned, i think the primary ability required would be able to scroll and navigate around. try salling clicker, its pretty decent too, although you'd need a client for the phone and the software on the pc too. communication is via bluetooth

something like this:
App: Control your MS powerpoint presentations wirelessly! - MotorolaFans.com Forums
or that:
Bemused for A780 needed......... - MotorolaFans.com Forums

has nothing todo with the camera.
this is only a remote control.
