Playing Pong on Cell-Phones

Nicolas Nova on pasta and vinegar, reports on gesture-based games using camera phones, a project carried out by the Georgia Tech Mobile Lab.

In their own words:

"We have developed a collection of mobile phone games that incorporate physical gesture interactions. Users interact with the game by physically moving the phone in free space. For example, in Pong, a user moves the phone left and right to control the paddle. The games do not rely on special motion sensors. Instead, they use the mobile phone’s camera as the motion detector.
