Tilt SCREAM Pong
Cute, clever & fun 🙂 Taking a cue from the Wii Remote, Future Feeder‘s Tilt SCREAM Pong uses a MacBook Pro‘s sudden motion sensor to control the paddle in a regular game of Pong – tilting your MacBook, moves the paddle! In a cute little twist that utilises the integrated mic, screaming at your Mac…
