Originally built in July 2009, the Perspectiverse Engine reinterprets “mobile” gaming, initially by enabling gyroscope-like interaction on pre-gyroscope (iPhone 3GS and iPad) hardware. Your mobile device now mobilizes you.

By computing and tracking the true orientation (yaw, pitch, and roll) of your device, the Perspectiverse Engine allows simple, intuitive motion controls that feel natural to gamers and non-gamers alike. It puts you in the game world for a truly immersive experience.

Players must stand up, look up, look down, and spin (in real life) in order to interact with the game world.

How does it work?  The Perspectiverse Engine transforms your iPhone or iPad into a movable “window” that peers into a virtual game world that coincides with the real world.  No matter how you orient your device, north in your game world is the same as north in the real world, south is south, up is up, down is down, and so forth.

1. -Computes and tracks the true orientation (yaw, pitch, and roll) of your iOS device to align your game world with the real world
   

2. -Makes full use of the gyroscope in recent iOS devices
   

3. -Full support of older (pre-gyroscope) devices
   

4. -Two viewing modes: A single focal point “Orbit mode” and an outward facing “Outlook mode”
   

5. -Noise/jitter mitigation of orientation data
   

6. -Orientation-independent 3D stereoscopy with adjustable stereo depth, for Red/Cyan glasses
   

7. -3D stereoscopy for Hasbro My3D devices
   

8. -Image capture of 3D
   

9. -“Augmented Reality” mode supported using camera feeds
   

10. -Camera feeds that can be textured onto 3D objects
    

11. -Replay of stored orientation data
    

12. -Video generation using replayed 3D
    

13. -User-POV simulated video generation using replayed 3D and the rear camera feed
    

14. -Facebook, Email and Photo Album integration of generated images and videos
    

15. -TV-out support of custom (i.e., non-mirrored) imagery for iPhone4 and later devices
    

16. -An array of custom objects, including an animated gyroscope-like 3D object that indicates device orientation
