It seems that we had already seen everything, but no, the ideas of the developers do not stop appearing, and that is, the last thing we have met, is a iPhone game you can control with your airpodsbeing the first of this style, and I can not the last.
Today, let's see how it would work, and we will leave you the link so that you try it if it catches your attention, since a picture is worth a thousand words, and the truth is curious, so it could be the first of many of this style.
Game for your airpods
Apple always gets its devices to give more than it seems at first glance, and now the Airpods become protagonists of a game that is caughting a lot of attention. Is called Ridepods And, although at first glance it is a fairly simple motorcycle game, which makes it special is the way of playing. You don't use buttons or play the screen here: the control is in your head. Literally. Thanks to movement sensors That the airpods carry, such as the accelerometer and the gyroscope that normally serve for the space audio, the developer Ali Tanis has managed to get the game's motorcycle to move when you include your head. The vehicle advances only on the road and your mission is to dodge cars and obstacles simply turning a little to one side or another. The idea is simple, but when trying it it is fun and quite immersive.
«A few weeks ago, while listening to music and developed an application with my airpods, I realized its space audio function. I thought about what more could be done with reverse engineering, including the possibility of using airpods as a movement controller. I built the first game controlled by Airpods in the world, which uses an engine driven by head movements. In fact, they are not just the Airpods, it is a game that uses a headset as a movement controller. And today, it was approved in the App Store. Who knows, maybe Airpods Arcade has started? :) “
Not all headphones serve, only the most recent ones that include these sensors, such as the Airpods Pro in their different versions, the third and fourth generation or the Max. Grace is that no extra accessory is needed or complicated with controls, because the only thing you need is already wearing. Ridepods does not intend to be a great racing simulator, but a curious experiment that demonstrates how far the airpods can go beyond music or calls. In fact, many see it as a wink to what could be a future with more games that take advantage of these hidden functions.
The best thing is that The game is free And you can download in the App Store, so anyone with some compatible airpods can try it without spending anything. It may not be the title of the year, but one of the most original we have seen in iOS in a long time, so we encourage you to try it for yourself and leave us a comment with what you think. Personally, very simple but striking, and as we said, it could be the idea for other developers to believe something similar, since it works much better than we believed.
