Abstract

Through the use of built-in accelerometers a game-software for recent generation MacBooks allows control of a scenario of virtual moving objects by tilting the computer. Together with integrated visual and continuous auditory feedback from models based on physical principles the software forms a possible platform for online collection of psychophysical data.
