SANTA CRUZ, CA--(Marketwire - August 12, 2008) - In response to customer demand, Fullpower®, the leader in mobile
sensing solutions, today announced it has released MotionX™-Dice for the
iPhone and iPod Touch. As an introductory offer, MotionX-Dice
will be available free through the Apple App Store for the first 90 days.
With MotionX-Dice, the player shakes the iPhone or iPod Touch to initiate
the roll. Real-world physics are used to control the way the dice roll,
collide and settle just as if they were actual dice. The application allows
the player to choose the number of dice in the game, selecting a number
between one and five. The application also gives the player the freedom to
customize the appearance of the dice and rolling surface for a truly unique
gaming experience.
"MotionX-Poker is a breakout success with both customers and critics," said
Arthur Kinsolving, director of technology for Fullpower. "Users love
MotionX-Poker. There have been numerous requests to use MotionX dice to
play games including Yahtzee, Craps, Liar's Dice, Backgammon as well as
many multi-user dice games. To thank the iPhone community for the success
of MotionX, Fullpower is making MotionX-Dice absolutely free for the first
90 days."
Speaking about Fullpower's ability to turnaround a new product so speedily,
Kinsolving stated, "Because the MotionX
technology platform is designed for accuracy and flexibility, we can
build great MotionX solutions promptly. The iPhone is a revolutionary
platform that gives consumers easy access to unique and soon life-changing
applications."
The Technology
MotionX-Dice uses the same dice-rolling technology as Fullpower's
critically acclaimed MotionX-Poker. The MotionX Recognition Engine captures the
player's hand movement, and the MotionX Embedded Physics Engine runs this
motion information through advanced mathematical algorithms to determine
the outcome of the roll. The user's actual shake determines the outcome of
the roll as in real life.
Pricing and Availability
As an introductory offer, the MotionX-Dice iPhone game is absolutely free
for the first 90 days. MotionX-Dice is immediately available as a free
download from the Apple App Store.
