[Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afeela-sedan) is working on an interactive game **Honda Motorcycles** that utilizes Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) techonology with Apple's motion-based hardware - and a data-protection system that is used in Apple's notebook computer systems that lets you control the game by holding and moving your Apple notebook (and maybe, [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-motion-cues) and [iPod Touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-3)!). Developer and art director Raul Arantes says, "With XCode and Quartz Composer we can access the sensor's data and create a different way to interact with a game. Pretty interesting for a stores and events." Check out the video [here](http://rrraul.info/younglions2008/archives/works/0002_Honda_Sudden_Sensor/index.html) of the Beta version. Final version should be out in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Motion-based Gaming:** Opportunity for creating more immersive and realistic gaming experiences using motion-based hardware. - **Interactive Game Development:** Exploring new ways of game interaction by utilizing Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) technology. - **Data-driven Gaming:** Harnessing sensor data to create innovative gaming experiences with Apple's motion-based hardware. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming:** Integrating motion-based hardware and sensor data into gaming platforms for enhanced gameplay. - **Consumer Electronics:** Developing devices that leverage motion-based technologies for interactive gaming and entertainment. - **Software Development:** Creating game applications that utilize Sudden Motion Sensor technology for unique user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handheld Motion-Control Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/udu-console.md) - [Facial Movement Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gameface.md) - [Avatar Motion Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alt-motion-controller.md) - [Motion-Sensing Mobile Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-handheld-game-console.md) - [Avatar Motion-Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocopi-1.md) - [Spatial Computing Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-vision-joystick-pro-max.md) - [Game Controller Steering Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afeela-sedan.md) - [Motion Sickness Smartphone Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-motion-cues.md) - [Immersive Driving Simulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driving-simulations.md)
