This application is a funny gadget presenting the potential of upcoming technology
It exploits the motion sensors of iOS devices in order to scan user gestures and then react by producing a sound, depending on the gesture the user has effected
It aims at giving the user the opportunity to practice, succeed complex gestures while holding a device and transmit commands from the device to anywhere needed

Your magic stick may sound like:

• Laughing out loud
• Piano Keyboard
• Drums Kit
• Horse Galloping
• Whip Hit
• Gun Shot
• Ouch Sound
• Birds Flapping
• Seashore
• Storm - Bad Weather
• Helicopter
• Thank you - Thank you very much
• Byebye - See you
• Nice to meet you

Additional Gesture-Sound pairs will be available in future versions of the application and the functionality to select or record sounds and design patterns of movement will be available to future users

This potentially will provide control over connected automations, design games or even new communication options for the deaf-mute

Tickle the screen, it will launch the Laughing Out Loud sound together with the appearance of a large camera button, since you probably will accord your laughing fellow and this will be an ideal time to TakeASelfie, spontaneous and warm-hearted

The Laughing Out Loud sound is the only sound that can be produced by a screen gesture

All of the sounds, apart from LoL, can be produced by succeeding the respective real hand-gestures on 2 or 3 dimensions, which is, moving your device in the air applying particular pattern of motion, either by rotating or by pushing-pooling the device on 3 dimension axes
All gestures need some accuracy and will demand a short-time practice before you are able to produce the desired sound

Read the respective page at “Gesture & Sounds” and watch the instructions video being attached

If you are familiar with histograms, you may open the Motion Monitor and watch the data produced by your device’s movement on a 9 tracks graph
