Accelerometer -- faster than paper scorecard?
Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 4:51 am
How about using the iPhone's built-in accelerometer so that the user can enter ball/strike without taking his eyes off the game? Shaking the iPhone up/down (gently!) could indicate a strike, a quick wave left/right would be ball. The phone could vibrate to give feedback so the user doesn't accidentally record a pitch without knowing it (long buzz for ball, several short ones for strike). If it buzzes when I didn't mean to record a pitch I can use undo (or take the incoming call
). Of course, if I'm keeping the pitching chart I wouldn't use this 'shake for strike' feature, but often I can't see the pitches that well, anyway, and would prefer to keep my eyes on the game -- something you can't do when using a paper scorecard!
By the way, I'm really enjoying using your App as-is! Great job!
