Point&click mode? #16

👋🏻 This is a very cool project, but not exactly what I was looking for. Can you make it so that I can literally rotate my phone mid air to point onto my screen, Wii-style? I've seen proprietary projects that require a server app on the computer do this.

If you think this is out of scope for this project, can you please recommend one that better satisfies my needs and point me in the right direction? Thx.

This would be an interesting addition, and might even be not as complex due to inbuilt fusion algorithms android already provides. However, I currently don't have the time to look into something like this, as I want to prioritize improving the mode that already exists, as that also needs quite some improvement. So I currently wouldn't say it is entirely outside the scope, but it won't be implemented in the near future.

Regarding other projects, I don't currently know of any other FOSS projects which implement this, especially not "server-less". In this regard you could search with the term "bluetooth hid profile", as this is the protocol that is used for this communication, but I also didn't find much with that.
