Accelerometers are becoming more and more ubiquitous, motion technology is everywhere, mobile phones, computers even washing machines now contain accelerometers and motion based technology is truly everywhere.

The nGun is the latest application for accelerometer equipped phones and it definitely isn’t the most useful one, it is not even aimed to be! This one is just for one, a little application that uses motion technology on a bit different way, another cool thing to show off and to impress your friends and colleagues with your mighty phone.

The idea behind application is quite simple, it detects two different movements and play the appropriate sound, something like the light sabre application. When you rotate your phone’s nose up it will play a gun shooting sound but when you rotate your phone to left it will play the clip charging sound.
