SE Xperia Play May Control Real Football Game

Before I start speaking about the creative idea Sony Ericsson has implemented, I want to ask you if you’ve watched the movie “Gamer.” If you haven’t, let me introduce its main idea: In the distant future, people play games not on big TV screens and not even on PCs or devices like PlayStation, but they control the game characters in real life as if they are living persons.

The protagonist convict Kable (Gerard Butler) is controlled by Simon, a skilled teenage gamer, and he must survive 30 sessions in a ‘doom’-type environment against other death row convicts in order to be set free.

SE Xperia Play

Well, if you think this idea will never come true and we’ll never be able to play such games, I have to “disappoint” you as Sony Ericsson has made something like that with only one difference — you don’t have to survive any sessions, you just… play football.

I guess when you watch a football match where your favorite football club is playing, you cry at the top of your voice and want to be there on the field and play yourself, or control the players. Sony Ericsson is going to give football fans this opportunity to control the real football players. How? Have a look at this video, and you’ll understand!

As you can see in the video, indie/rock band Kasabian’s lead singer Tom Meighan and Aston Villa/England footballer Darren Bent are controlling an interesting 5-a-side head-to-head match using Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY

The famous smartphone manufacturer has combined two different technologies, and as a result the above mentioned celebs weren’t controlling pixels on a screen but real players on a pitch telling them what to do on the field — select, pass or shoot.

I think you’ll agree that it’s an impressive idea and looks quite funny. But they better not try this on such games as Call of Duty or Medal of Honor… 🙂

    This is an awesome feature from Sony Ericson Again. Using the se-xperia you can control the players. PSP’s and other gadgets will definitely have to think better to compete the product of SE.

    i don’t think that any other software production had been advanced so much as Sony Ericsson had done.

    I really think this would be cool. This would also be quite impossible but then again, so many things that we have used to be impossible too. Frankly, I’m good with today’s technology, hahaha.

    This is really interesting however i don’t think it would be as much as popular as Xbox Kinetic. It’s an amazing idea but i guess it’s not enough to make a buzz in the market. I can’t imagine the players if this will work on left 4 dead game.

    It was fun. But for real games you need to have one gamer for 1 player.

    The most effective players are the ones who have the most speed and quickness.
