iPhone Client Controls the Mars Rover [Video]

At EclipseCon 2010, the Eclipse Foundation and NASA JPL, organized the e4-Rover Mars Challenge. EclipseCon attendees will participated in a contest to create the very best robotic control system to drive a robot across a prototypical Mars landscape.

Prove your e4 programming skills by creating the very best e4-Rover client. Start with the pre-built client and extend it to make it a more attractive, usable and effective command and control system for the e4-Rover. The winner will be determined by a judging panel.


Below is a video of a client made by software architects Peter Friese and Heiko Behrens below. They used the iPhone's accelerometer to run their creation.
