Motion-Sensing Phone to Hit Market
LG Electronics begins marketing new motion-sensing three-dimensional (3D) game phones Monday, according to The Korea Times.
"The motion control sensor embedded in the handset translates movements of the phone through the air into actions and prompts a response on the screen.
For instance, on the SV360 handset, which unfolds to look like a handheld game device, gamers can play a skiing game in which they steer the course, go faster and go slower just by moving the handset around."
