You can pack all the gyroscopes, accelerometers and other motion-detecting sensors you want in your desktop -- it's still not going to be any good at playing *Eliminate: Gun Range*](http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/gyroscope-gunning-on-the-iphone-4-with-eliminate-gun-range-vid/). That's the motivation behind developer Arik Poznanski's latest release. He has created a driver enabling his [Windows Phone 7](http://www.engadget.com/tag/WindowsPhone7/) to transmit its accelerometer data back to his [Windows 7](http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows+7/) desktop in real time. Currently the driver's not good for much beyond a tech demo, but given the different ways people have [hacked their Wiimotes](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Wiimote+hack/), it won't be long before homebrewed killer apps start appearing -- perhaps paired up with a little [Kinect](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/microsoft-launches-kinect-for-windows-sdk-beta-wants-pc-users-t/) wizardry. If you're looking to get started at home, hit the source link below for more details.
