Tiger Telematics’ Gizmondo™ Unveils New Gaming Technology
Media and Trade get first taste of Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic Camera Technology on the Gizmondo at leading industry event.
Gizmondo Europe Ltd subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (other OTC, TGTL) today unveils the very latest gaming features, Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic Camera technology, on its 4500 feet-square stand at the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) event in Los Angeles, California.
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, and will be demonstrated behind closed doors at this leading industry event.
Carl Freer, Co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, added: “Until now we have concentrated on communicating the six core functions of the Gizmondo, namely; games, movies, music, messaging, a digital camera, and GPS. Our agenda for this industry focal event is to demonstrate to media and trade how the Gizmondo becomes greater than the sum of its parts when we begin to combine these functions and integrate them into entertainment content that is exclusive to this new handheld format.”
