The concept reminds me much of high school kids in class passing notes to one another. But instead of writing notes in secret and passing them to seatmates, all they need to do now is scribble using their mobile phone. It’s as simple as that. Use the phone like a pen to scribble letters. I think the setup works like a combination of the Wiimote’s accelerometer from Nintendo and maybe, in the future, the Canson Papershow which I reviewed several months back. Yeah, there’s a name for this new technology and it’s called Air Writing.
Stay tuned, folks! The application is currently in prototype with existing phones with a built in accelerometer.
