Video games are undoubtly the most popular way of people using their smartphones these days. But I'm still dreaming something that entertains people without forcing us to stare at the tiny phone screen. Here are two of them. They may not be games strictly speaking, but hopefully they are fun.
Shake Your Music -- Shaking your phone to change the speed of music playing. The harder the phone is shaken, the faster the music would play. Allow user to record and shake her own (or others') voice and play back. Different gestures in the air generates different special sound effects.
Phone the Conducting Baton -- Imagine you stand on the stage in front of a world class symphony. You are the conductor. Your phone is your baton. Wave your hand to conduct Beethoven's Ninth Symphony however you want your crew to perform. This sounds like a Kinect type of game which would need more accuracy in tracking users' gestures, but maybe with gyroscopes and accelerometers going into more and more phones, this is becoming more feasible soon?
WARNING: This one-idea-a-day series are typically 10-minute writeouts of my 40-min whim while I'm running on treadmill. They serve the purpose of givign me the joy of day dreaming and writing something every day. The ideas here will have very high probability of being total crap. Read at your own peril.
