Accelerometer, GPS help required?

Hi there,
I need a computer scientist with ability to write algo's for accelerometers/ gyroscopes in mobile phones.
I have a team of developers working with mobile devices, but require this work done to implement movement recognition within a mobile handset.
The device must understand more than stationary device vs movement, we require walk, run, idle car, acceleration, deceleration, integration with gps for more accurate positioning, vibration etc.
Is this something you can help with? please send me a message

[Q] Looking for advice from developers on feasibility of a project..

A friend and I are working on a thought project and I realized it could be made into a reality with the use of some cell phone hardware.
Here's what our idea is:
Goal:
Build an autonomous RC quad rotor helicopter
Use phone camera for live camera Feed,
Use the phone's accelerometer for flight control,
Use phone GPS for navigation
Use wifi for piloted control and camera feed transmission
I realize we would need to use a high end phone's hardware with a good processor.. And that a TON of code would need to written.. But is this even possible??
Thanks for any help.. My friend has experience building RC planes and cars and quads.. But integrating a cellphone for autonomous flight was my idea, and I dunno much about how it could potentially work.
Thanks for any input you may have!!

An healthy discussion on using the front camera in more advanced ways...

Hell frnds,
I was just plain curious when a well known smartphone manufacturer started using the front camera for more than skype n photos. I wondered that my ICS tab has a front camera, a feature called face unlock which uses face features to unlock the device. So what if this camera and some code can be used to add features to the front camera n make it useful. I was also wondering can this data be utilized in other applications, this will open up then environment. Suppore a scroll,its done through touch n drag, our application can send this data to the foreground app i.e a document reader or a browser. The application can spoof it self as an input device in androids input menu. Thus it can do various things by sending appropriate data to apps. Im currently testing on windows using a webcam n some code to track eyeball n do actions through it. If im succesful enough Ill start coding an android app. But a healthy discussion and your views would be appreciated. So I hope ill see some replies. Tkcre.

[Q] Simvalley XT-930 GPS waypoints

Hi,
I am new to this forum. Although I have had a XDA (not sure if this forum relates to that smartphone of a decade ago), I am a consumer and no developer what so ever. I have not much technical knowlegde, so please bear with me if I don't get some things that are crystal clear to you guys. Also, my English is pretty poor.
My question: I have a Simvalley XT-930 dumbphone as a backup phone while travelling. It also has GPS and can get GPS coordinates. What I miss is an app on the phone to store and find back waypoints. I don't need anything fancy with maps or satellite photographs. An arrow pointing in the right direction, and the distance would be the major functionality I need. To find back that bus station, meeting point, parked car in a foreign city, etc.
The good thing is that the phone supports Java based apps. I tried VLKGPS 0.9.4, but it crashes because the Midlet is not supported.
Do you guys know an app with the functionality I am looking for and that would work on my phone?

[GAME][4.0+] Tuscany for Carboard Without Gyro or Compass

I wanted to spread virtual reality to more people, because I noticed that not everyone has a gyroscope in his mobile, even compass.
So I developed a demo based on Tuscany for Oculus that doesn't use neither gyro or compass to move around the camera, it uses the back camera to detect the yaw movement and accelerometer for pitch and roll. The first choice was to use a custom autowalk feature, but now I set support for the left joystick from generic bluetooth controllers and keys from keyboards, because its more easy and realistic rather than looking down and up to start and stop walking. At the moment, you need a very powerful device (this app was designed for my device, that is an MTK octa-core), because has all effects included in .
As an extra, it has cross-eye support, although I think this is useless, and I'm testing in this version a new way to adapt eyes to screen (slightly improved from dive one)
