So I know people have been trying to do this for ages (myself included), but has anyone ever had any success getting gesture recognition to work with a simple accelerometer, like the wiimote? I tried a port of a java library called wiigee awhile back and it worked fairly well, but it couldn't handle the continuous recognition task. Also, I'm interested in parametrized gesture recognition; that is, recovering not only which gesture was performed but also how hard or how fast.

Any help would be appreciated with a significant deviation from the norm.
