For the record, see also:

Demo: http://browserplus.yahoo.com/demos/marbles/intro

It isn't based on events (you have to poll continuously) and uses
values ranging from -127 to 128 (well, it's rather bizarre: "x" seems
to range from -127 to 128 while y ranges from -128 to 127! –I can't
say for "z" as my laptop doesn't have an accelerometer–)
And it has a fallback on mouse: 0,0 being the center of the screen
(128,-128 being the top-left corner, and -127,127 the bottom-right
corner) and the "z" coordinate always being 0.
