Camera-enabled mobile games or "Motion Games"

EyeMobile brings mobile gaming to the next generation: camera-enabled mobile games or "motion games".

Don't let the buttons get in your way: just tilt the phone to control the action. Play your game -- including snowboarding, driving, flying and more—simply, intuitively, naturally.

How it works:

EyeMobile software uses the cell phone's camera to “lock” to images of physical objects in the environment (for example a dark or a light tile on the floor). As the phone is tilted, that objects position in the camera view moves.

EyeMobile then deduces how much, how fast and which direction a user is tilting or otherwise moving the phone. Basically, it turns the phone into a joystick.
