Hack-a-Day Link
Source code (or this copy)

The photoresistors are detecting the light emitted by an LED and refracted by your hand, allowing you to control your cursor simply by moving your hand over the sensors. The closer you are from the sensors, the faster the cursor will be.

vKeyboardMouse_BT

A modded Logitech mouse that sends it's PS/2 data stream to the Teensy which normally forwards it as USB-HID-Mouse package. This way it normally behaves like an ordinary mouse. But via a Bluetooth-SPP connection you can alter the normal mouse behaviour ;-) or even send Keyboard-/Mouse-HID-Packets/-Macros from any BT device to the mouse, which then forwards them to the host.
