Now this really does look like a cool app! A firm called Logic Consulting has come up with an Air Drum App, a virtual drum set simulator for the iPhone 4. Gyro Air Drums is the first app of its kind, taking advantage of the iPhone 4s vibrational gyroscope sensor to put the player in the centre of a virtual drum set.
The iPhone 4s vibrational gyroscope, in addition to the existing iPhone accelerometer, allows the Gyro Air Drums to detect three-dimensional rotation, as well as device tilt.
Using the app, a multitude of drums are arranged at two vertical levels in a 300-degree setup around the user. Tilting the iPhone 4 upward allows users to hit the upper level instruments, the hi-hat, crash, and cowbell. Holding the device level enables users to hit the snare and toms, and pointing the device in any horizontal direction around the player brings differing drums into view as if the drum kit was actually set up around them. The app is currently available worldwide at an introductory price of $2.99. Looks like a lot of fun even if youre not a drummer!
