If the location of your head is something youâre never quite certain of, then youâll probably want to spend $.99 on VisionHacker Studiosâ FreeSkate Xtreme for the iPhone and iPad later this week. It uses the Apple camera to find your skull, and then uses it to skate.
Itâs nice to see developers starting to use those fancy cameras on our iDevices to their full potential, isnât it? Here developer VisionHacker uses a combination of head-tracking and standard accelerometer controls to create a free-running skateboarding experience that will make you look completely silly. Itâs the good sort of silly, though. The one where youâre having too good a time to realize how silly you look. Kinect-silly.
Itâs also quite pretty. Pretty enough that folks will look over your shoulder. Thatâs when you catch them in the chin with your bobbing skull. Doesnât that sound like fun?
FreeSkate Xtreme is due out tomorrow. Then the head-bobbing begins.
