SMS Test-Drive Prototype

In 2007, a prototype took advantage of the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) in Apple notebooks to promote Honda motorcycles – allowing users to interact with graphics by tilting the notebook.

Project information
The Sudden Motion Sensor is designed to detect powerful vibrations, sudden changes in position or accelerated movement, such as falls, that can damage the hard disk.

Around 2007, I produced a prototype with the intent to promote Honda motorcycles. The prototype used a custom made patch inside Quartz Composer.
 
By reading the sensor data and transmitting it to a composition containing the graphics, the user could interact with the application by tilting the notebook in different directions.
The combined experience of physical and software was an entertaining way to promote the brand.
 
The Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) is Apple's motion-based data protection system used in their notebook computer systems. On January 1, 2005, Apple introduced the system in its refreshed PowerBook line and included it in the iBook line on July 26, 2005.
Since that time, Apple has included the system in all their non-SSD portable systems (since October 2006), now the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.
