For those of you not familiar with the MacSaber app, it tapped into the most recent iteration of the MacBook’s accelerometer, that thing used to determine if the MacBook was being dropped, so it could prepare for impact, anyways it tapped into that and made it so when you swung your MacBook it made Star Wars light saber sounds. Well, this is the same concept, different guy, and different device.

This time the app is being made for the iPhone, using its accelerometer, the thing that tells it when to change the viewing mode from vertical to horizontal. Currently its still in the development stages with a preemptive release out there that just barely works.

Right now it makes the lightsaber on and off noise when you open and close the app respectively, and occasionally when you swing it, it makes noise. There is also the X, Y, and Z coordinates output to the screen and an arrow. Shortly after work started on iSaber, the guy who did make the MacSaber app started working on his own version, but the two wound up talking with each other, and the MacSaber guy hooked the other guy up with all of his sounds, code, and everything else and is just going to let him run with it for now.
