PowerBook Digital Marionette (Puppet)

"Anfischer" turned his PowerBook into a digital marionette (aka puppet) by using its built-in motion sensor and custom software. Video demonstration after the jump.

The digital representation of the marionette reacts to the sensor output and can be controlled by moving the laptop

Whoa, I don't normally say something like this. But that was the most unimpressive, crappy waste of time thing I've seen.
