N95 lightsaber spotted on the Death Star

November 12, 2007 by Dario Soltani 

Found this cool video on YouTube. Ricky at Symbian-guru is going wild with a Lightsaber application made by Graham Oldfield. The application simulates the sounds of a lightsaber when you swing your n95 using it’s built-in accelerometer sensor which I’ve written about before. It must be installed on the phones internal memory, NOT the memory card and can be downloaded here.

Everyone’s nagging about why Nokia didn’t go public with the built-in accelerometer sensor, but heck, all developers already knew it was there. I know I did back in April.
