We already know that the MacBook’s internal motion sensor is more useful than simply for shutting the hard-drive down should you drop it, but some of the uses are more curious than others. For instance, have you ever thought that your lovely shiny Apple is a little bit like a traditional puppet? No? Well dasAutomat have, and they’ve got the video to prove it.
With the MacBook suspended on a platter, an on-screen puppet is manipulated in sync with the movements of the puppeteer. Is it the best way to use your laptop? No, not really. But is it fun? Yeah, I guess it is.

This is pretty awesome.
I wonder if it’s possible to get the sensor’s readings accurate enough to make a video game out of this concept. You know, like ’tilt your shiny new MacBook to have a ball roll on screen’?
