In 2024 I made something similar to this for Playdate, with mirroring and dynamic pen width and dithering based on speed of movement. It is fun https://gingerbeardman.itch.io/rorschach

I tried it out on a whim and it was really fun actually.

The only immediate improvement I could think of (which may be is there in the settings) is to change the zero point so I don't have to have the camera pointed at the floor.

Edit: can "zero" by clicking "begin" with phone pointed forward.

I did NOT know the motion sensors on my phone were THIS precise, that’s surprising

There was a project from 15 years ago where you could put an iPhone on a desk and if someone was typing, you could determine the keys being pressed via the accelerometer in the phone.

The original page seems to have died but you can still find the HN entry here; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3203402

This is the full "vibe code rabbit hole" I went down, with trying to understand what is possible with the sensors. https://tautme.github.io/phone-sensors/

great idea down this thread, make a guitar tuner that listens with the accelerometer. https://tautme.github.io/phone-sensors/accel-tuner.html

intersting that phones ask for permission to camera and mic, but not always for accelerometer

The motion sensors are also usable to listen to conversations...

Is there a reliable way to trigger percussion?

tap the side of the phone, it responds to accelerometer sensor.

Tapped very hard, never worked once. Using android on pixel phone.
