'Nose Zone' is an [iPhone X](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-x-galaxy) game that harnesses the power of the newest [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-gaming-controller) phone's TrueDepth 3D camera. True to its name, the mobile game exclusively for iPhone X users introduces a nose-controlled experience; as the developers describe, "Nose Zone makes your face the controller."

The mobile gaming app challenges players to destroy the on-screen targets simply pointing at them with their nose. If successful, users may even be able to enter the bonus round to gain more time and the ability to compete for a high score.

As smart innovations become more commonplace in the home, consumers are looking to engage their mobile devices in ways that compare to familiar interactions with voice- and [gesture-controlled systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facial-gesture-control).
