It would be great to have it integrated in Jambu (thanks Stephen).

I was rather hoping you would say that :)

I think that directly integrating with Jambu is an excellent place to
start. A generalized virtual device approach can always come later
when we can prove that the concept works.

The question of detecting switch activations is an important one. Mick
Donegan's original suggestion was something like a threshold glance -
looking far enough in one direction fires the switch.

I think the quickest route to a basic proof-of-concept would be
something like this basic threshold technique, though I am sure there
are better options - ideally something like Simon's gestures idea.
Perhaps Mick would like to join in on this discussion?

Thanks Steve for suggesting Jambu here. From my perspective the main
goal now is to set up an environment for experimenting with different
activation options and Jambu sounds like a good options for this. Is
there an subversion repository I could check out to get started?

Sorry for the absence of any opengazer build-instructions. I'll write
them up today.
