Rolocule has decided to release on iTunes today App Store the very first game that uses the Rolomotion sensor for its functionality. At its core, Rolomotion is a technology that transforms users iPhone or iPod touch to game controller pre Apple TV, in this case literally. Unlike other supported games AirPlay Rolocule requires the image to be broadcast to the TV screen. The concept might feel like Rolocule decided to transform Apple TV into a game console that uses the Nintendo Wii principle.
Rolocule presented its concept already in mid-April and we informed you about it in a separate article. The first game to use Rolomotion technology is Motion Tennis. Motion Tennis requires users to stream the image to Apple TV through AirPlay, since the entire game uses the iPhone's most important motion sensors, i.e. gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer. Thanks to these three sensors, players grab their iPhone as a game controller and, following the example of the Nintendo Wii, simulate the movements of a tennis racket while playing.
Motion Tennis can be considered a kind of alternative to Wii Sports, but it will offer only one sports discipline. Among other things, the game also offers a multiplayer mode with friends or family. The game can only be played with two devices at a time, and it must be a device with a processor Apple A5 or later. So only users can play the game iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation. The second condition is the system iOS 6.0 or later and Apple TV 2nd or 3rd generation for support AirPlay Mirroring.
I can confirm - I bought this game and I'm not sorry :)
I haven't had so much fun in a long time.
It gives the game a whole other dimension.
one does not need any other console(Wii) DVD drivers.
You buy the game and play immediately.
Another example of the huge potential of the eco system Apple and other uses Apple TV.
The game is fast, fast..fun.
I recommend :)
PS: But the best is at the end :) at the end of the set, a message will appear that I am the waving team Iphone burned 12 calories :) so something for housewives too :)
In that video, there seemed to be quite a lag between the hand movement and the on-screen movement. And sometimes the jams too... is it covered? I have an iP5, ATV3 and Time capsule, all on 5GHz wifi and I can hardly play games on it because there is a delay.

I was worried about that too, but I took the risk and I don't regret it. I have iPhone 5 and ATV 3, Wi-Fi at 5 GHz and only one lag for the entire game. Compared to other games, it is very well tuned. Maybe the size of the game is also responsible for this, which is only 35 MB, compared to games that have over 1 GB and AirPlay is practically unplayable because of the lag. Apple TV I have it on a Full HD projector and it's a blast!
I have the main one
the router is 2 floors higher and it's playable - sometimes it jerks - but I blame it on the strength of the signal (2 floors)
Iphone 4S,Apple TV latest model, Router Lancom 1821N in combination with Devolo 200 AV wireless N, but I plan to buy a new Time capsule anyway
It's quite fun, we just tried it out, especially the creature game. Well, it doesn't respond exactly to the movement of the phone, but it's probably about learning how to play it with the iPhone. Quite a decent gadget for a party :) It only lags a little. Complies with IP5 and IP4S.
7euro, that's for real :-/
don't they ever take it down to at least 5? I'm afraid that they will sell it for 15 :-D
is there any hope that the bag will be torn with such games?
