E3 2005: Gizmondo Unveils new Gaming Features - Gizmondo

20th May 2005, 9:39am
Gizmondo has unveiled the latest in gaming features, the Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic Camera technology at this years E3.

The incredible Gyroscopic Camera Technology uses movement detected through the digital camera at the rear of the device as a direct analogue control input for games. This unique and versatile feature has enormous potential within all genres of games, from first-person shooters to flight simulations, and is currently being optimised for a number of exclusive titles by Gizmondo Studios.

Augmented Reality also uses the digital camera, but in a radically different way. By viewing specially designed graphics and symbols through the camera mode, a three-dimensional and animated character or object can be introduce to the 'real world' environment with stunning effect.

Both these new technologies will be featured in a groundbreaking new GPS-enabled adventure game called Agaju.
