ם The Force Is Strong In This One

A few weeks ago, I wrote this post about MacSaber 1.0, a program to turn your brand new MacBook into a lightsaber. To quote myself:

Really, I just can’t wait for a video to hit YouTube of some geek wildly swinging his MacBook around, fighting off the Dark Side.

Luckily, all of my wildest dreams have come true.

ם Jedis Use Macs

Reminiscent of my previous post about exploiting the Sudden Motion Sensor in Apple PowerBooks and MacBooks, I’d like to share with you MacSaber 1.0.

Using your Mac’s sudden motion sensor, this software turns your computer into a Jedi weapon almost worthy of taking on the real thing by making authentic lightsaber sound effects. It senses speed for the lightsaber movement sounds and acceleration for different levels of striking sounds.

Really, I just can’t wait for a video to hit YouTube of some geek wildly swinging his MacBook around, fighting off the Dark Side.

Someone has figured out how to utilize the MacBook’s built in Sudden Motion Sensor as a sort of “hot key”. A well-placed smack to the side of the screen triggers some action, in this instance switching between virtual desktops.

For the full effect, watch the video. For an even fuller effect, do what I did and watch the video seven or eight times.

This is probably the coolest hack I’ve seen in a while, and I might do it to my PowerBook soon.
