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.
I always dream to fly a model plane since I was a kid. The controllers of model planes always resemble joysticks of game consoles. So maybe today's smartphones can be better (more intuitive) controllers since more and more fancy sensors are being added to phones, accelerometers, gyroscopes etc.
It's gonna be like playing video games but controling real (model) planes instead. You can tilt and rotate in different ways to control the pitch, yaw and roll of your plane. The plane can send back data to your phone as well, telling you about its speed, direction, vibrating your phone when it's flying bumpy, and sending back photos it takes. This sound like fun to me.
You could hold your phone in landscape direction as if you are playing a first person flying game; you could also fly the phone as if you are flying a toy plane with hand when you were a kid.
