Microsoft
Research to create a 'technology hardware localization' that allows smartphone
users with a sword fight, or fight a virtual sword. The team from Microsoft
Research called 'FAR', and has been applied in a game called SwordFight.
Not
just a sword fight, fight while on horseback using spears can also be done. The
trick is based on sensing movement, or acceleration.
SwordFight
is indeed based on proximity. A cell phone emits a rapid stream of tiny voices,
while other phones listen to the voice through a microphone. Then the system
will calculate the distance by calculating the required timeframe to the
microphone sound.
Virtual sword
The
goal is to (almost) stabbing the opponent smartphone handed manner. A puncture
can be done within a distance of 15 cm and the attackers were identified using
the accelerometer. Tests have shown that this can be accurate within 2 cm.
The
interesting part of this new technology is that it uses the ability of
smartphones in general, the microphone, speaker and accelerometer. This means
SwordFight can be used in all brands of smartphones and operating systems.
