Modding Nokia Cameraphone To Be Mouse

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-less-thing-in-my-backpack dept.

There is also a video of it in action. I can't wait to get one of these, it would mean one less device to carry when I'm travelling."

    ..and converted my Rowenta steam iron into a mouse so I could surf
    while getting the creases out of my shirts. The phone mod didn't work
    out so good though, someone called me up and I burned half my right ear
    off.

    You may recall this article, about guy turning his optical mouse into an imaging device. Now here we have another guy who wants to turn his imaging device into an optical mouse. Pity they didn't just think of doing a swap, eh? ;)
