Today i have something really amazing that involves the ipad.
So as we know the ipad is a tablet with a touch screen, many functions and some great apps.
But only recently have they introduced a new type of app that allows you to use a toy as the controller of a game.
The first set of toys for this new app are based on Disney's Cars franchise and work with a new game that is free to downed in the app store. In the game you take Lightning or one of the other characters for a ride in Radiator Springs, completing missions, racing, exploring the landscape, unlocking achievements, all while crashing into other cars, buildings or whatever else is out there. However the game doesn’t have multiplayer racing yet.
The game opperates by detecting the metal sensors that are under the car, once the car is placed on the ipad the game will start and the virtual car will begin to move forward. Thus there is no accelerator, you only move the car side to side. The game will also detect if the car has moved outside the designated area and the game will prompt you to put it back.
So far these are the only plans that have been released for such a game, however the future could prove differently.
