iPhone 4 and the new gyroscope – much improved augmented reality
The iPhone 4 features a gyroscope for the first time (which is much more sensitive than the old accelerometer based motion sensor). This leads not only to much improved gaming but also a less jerky augmented reality experience.
The iPhone apps, however, have to be rewritten to take advantage of the new sensor. AcrossAir has done just that and posted a comparison video of the new improved AR experience.
How well does the gyroscope work for gaming? Take a look at the first iPhone 4 gyroscope game. Another video of “Gun Range” here.
