N900 Game Uses the Forward Camera for Face Motion Detection
On the Official Nokia Blog, they are showing off a game on the N900. This game doesn’t have amazing graphics, in-depth storyline, or fancy multiplayer gameplay. But it does do something a little unique on a phone; it allows the user to use the front facing camera to detect their face motion to control the character on-screen.
The game is called Burger Face and the objective of the game is to grab falling hamburgers and dodge falling knives. The unique controls though allow you to control your on screen avatar by moving your head left or right.
Kinda cool consider it would seem the major consoles are moving toward this technology as well (Google Project Natal for the Xbox 360). The only issue is how ridiculous you look shaking your head around at the airport, screaming, “Eat the burger!”
