How can I motion track on a smartphone device?
I'm not sure if its called motion tracking, but I was thinking of making a game which requires mechanics that of similar to a Nintendo Wii. For example, with the phone in my hand, if I make a big circle, it will recognise it as a unique action and runs a command, and if I shake it up and down, it recognises it as a different action and runs something else.. and so on. So, is what I'm thinking of a possible thing, and if so what tools would I have to use to accomplish this? Thank you!

Only reason this works on WII is because the laser on the WII can judge movement of the sensed object. Your best bet would be to use Tilts and other Gyroscopic data to simulate what you want. Basically it works on WII because it has an external device that can base movements off detected positions. Until GPS can detect us moving an inch or two, it wont be possible on a stand-alone phone.
