 We thought while you were waiting you may enjoy this video of Japanese researchers playing a game they apparently built in an hour, Multiplayer Pong.

Thanks to TUAW for the heads-up.

i dont understand how that could possibly even work the way they showed it.

the part where the ball was headed for right guys phone...but then left guy pushed his phone in the middle and stole he ball.

the iphone does not have location aware that advanced (or surrounding aware).

unless its maybe using IR or BT to sense the location of other phones?

is there any more info on the details of this?

or poing or pong. not sure what they kept saying but that was absolutely the best part...

just great.

it's too early in the morning to try to follow how each corner of the device corresponds to the other phones and how the ball reacts accordingly...

About implementation. Let's call the phones 1, 2 and 3. Now look closely...
1... 2... 3...
1... 2... 3...
1... 2... 3...
1... 2... 3...
1... 2... 3...

Do you see a pattern?
