Want to play a bunch of imaginary drums in the air around you? Who doesn’t! Buy an iPhone 4.
That’s right, developer Logic Consulting has created an app called Gyro Air Drums that leverages the iPhone 4’s gyroscope to create a virtual drum kit positioned in a two-tier, 300-degree arc around the user, then turns the iPhone itself into the drumstick. The $3 set includes a snare, hi-hat, hi and low toms, a finger-controlled bass pedal, the all-important cowbell and even a taiko drum
Judging by the demo in the clip above, the app isn’t sophisticated enough for any Dave Grohl-style drumming delight, and you’ll still look like a dork, waving your iPhone around — but it doesn’t matter; the idea is so cool, you’ll get dates anyway.
