The official phone game of the Beijing Olympics

At the the Tokyo Game Show 2007 (which boasted a total attendance of 193,000 over four days (Sept. 20-23) at Makuhari Messe in Chiba), NTT DoCoMo displayed the Peking Olympic Mobile Games, the official mobile phone game of next year's summer Olympics in Beijing.

In one of the game's events, you put the phone down on a table and pump your arms like a sprinting runner. The phone's camera picks up your movements and accelerates your onscreen running character accordingly.
