[gui-talk] IPhone braille input

[albert griffith]

If Apple is employing the sensing mechanism whose name I can't remember
parameters would be provided.  It's used in many devices to dect changes in
motion or the device relative to its environment.  I hope someone can supply
the name of this thing.  It's used in the video game machines that allow
people to exercise and play tennis.  I believe there's one in the machine
that runs Guitar Hero too.  Apple uses it in the I phone to keep writing
right side up even if you have to change the position of the phone.  Please
someone remember the name of this thing.

Yes, assuming you know where to put your fingers on a flat dynamic screen.
