Photo Showing the Live Game Screen on a Motorola i710252 viewsHere's a photo of Glofun RayGun as it appeared on my Motorola i710 in the middle of a game. Note the ghosts (red dots) approaching me from three sides and the fact that there is no "energy cone" projecting from me. In order to produce an energy cone, I have to run in the direction that I want to shoot and have that motion detected by the phone's on-board GPS receiver. (Photo: Dave Aiello)

Pointing the Gun270 viewsYou point your ray gun by running or walking in the direction of a ghost. The "energy cone", or the area where a shot from the ray gun will be effective, is shown in yellow. Ghosts are depicted in red and green. The player is always in the center of the screen, where the black dot is. (Image: GloVentures)

Increasing the Energy Cone266 viewsThe "energy cone", or the area where a shot from the ray gun will be affective, is shown in yellow. The further you move in a single direction (according to the GPS), the bigger your energy cone gets. (Image: GloVentures)
