Nebudroid is an application that I stumbled upon which allows you to use your Android phone to control videogames on your PC. His video impressively demonstrates what is possible with the application, such as playing a PC racing game with the phone as the steering wheel to control not only the steering but the acceleration, braking and gearshifts. In his next demonstration he uses a NES Emulator playing Super Mario Bros 3 with his HTC Hero as a NES controller pad!
Here’s what the author Asier Arranz has to say about his application.
Nebudroid is a funny way to interact with PC games and simulators using the accelerometer and the new multitouch capabilities. You can drive a car using the phone as a steering wheel (with gears for manual transmission), you can play Mario with a NES controller, or you can jump with the mobile in the pants pocket and Mario will move with you.
The software is tested in a HTC Hero, and soon will be tested in more Android devices. The software will be continuosly updated, and I’m working in a improved version that has more new features.
Be sure to check out the video below to see how well it works as a controller. There is a slight bit of input lag as expected but the Nebudroid is still in a very early development phase.
