Hi, quite interesting... just wanted to ask, was did the horizon in this racing game adjust to the orientation of the iPhone? A while back I saw a concept for this motion sensor steering where the horizon was kept horizontally (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYeHyxuhfEI). I would imagine this to give a much more natural experience...
I believe the Cromag karting game demonstrated in the Keynote also used this method... this explains why the orientation on the big screen seemed a bit shaky...

Sounds great because most games aren't immersing at all. I suppose we'll see controls on the games to cut down on the motion.

Having done some off-roading where everything is shaking, I'd guess it would be a good idea to eat afterwards.

I thought you meant, iPhone games make you sick.

See, I'm one of those consumers that doesn't care for built in cameras, because the world has enough blurry, pixelated pictures. I don't care for games on my phone or my iPod and wish I could opt to use the memory for something else, like, I don't know, more music or an equalizer or something to do with the reason I bought the iPod?
My phone is just as bad, with its 50 different functions, the battery meter is 4 menus deep, but games are on the front with my address book (no, I can't move them).

I don't need to carry around my pictures. My Mom carries around pictures in her purse. I don't need album cover pictures in my iPod either. Still, I guess I'm in the minority, but I just wanted to say that gaming on tiny screens make me sick as well--just for different reasons.

(just wanted to say, its not like I don't like games and pictures. I built a custom PC for maximum time wastage, and as an amateur photog, I love Flickr and iWeb galleries.)

Some people think what they write here is important. It isn't, and neither was that.

I think I know what you're talking about. It's like how the Star Tours and Human Body attractions at Disney World make you nauseous after you get off, even though your body is hardly moving at all, but what little motion they do have combined with the wild turns on the horizon can make you feel sick. Plus if it's that easy for the phone to move in your hand, then it would be easy to lose your orientation with the screen.

Chris, the producer of Freeverse's forthcoming iPhone racing game "Wingnuts Moto Racer" told me to advise you to "grow a pair."
