Blobo
November 14 2009
Well, something from Finland. Blobo is a game controller size of a golf-ball that’s soft and light. The player can interact with the controller by moving, squeezing, throwing, spinning or just by keeping it in their hand.
Almost all the information I can find is in finnish, so I need to translate a bit. It connects via Bluetooth, is rechargeable and it measures following things: magnetic field, air pressure, spin, movement and acceleration, force of squeeze, steps and calorie burn. It’s 55euros with 6 games, so pretty cheap. The SDK is available for Windows, Symbian S60 and Java 2 ME (phones).
