- Phone tilt, twist, and rotation control separate puppet movements; a recalibration button helps correct controls that feel off.
Field notes
The instructions divide control across devices: the computer displays the skeleton while a phone supplies movement input through its sensors. The page maps tilt, twist, and rotation to different body movements and includes a recalibration step. It also offers Strings and Background controls, links to a blog post, and says the full source code is available; the creator credits several people for art, feedback, and compatibility testing.
