Cellphone as Virtual Mouse, Keyboard

stab writes "Check this out! High Energy Magic have announced a public beta of software to let you use your camera-phone as a physical mouse by just pointing and clicking and rotating it in the air. Some very cool videos available: check out the volume control and flight booking ones in particular! The tags used are really robust - they did a wastebasket torture test for a bit of fun as well :-)"

    Coming soon... a refrigerator with a TV in it, plus internet access and mp3 capabilities! Huh? Someone's already thought it up?

    Um... okay then give me a second... how about a computer tower with lotion dispenser!! What?! You're kidding me, someone's done THAT too?

    OK OK I've got it... it's a jump... to conclusions mat. You see it'd be this mat, and it'd have different "conclusions" that you could jump to!
