Freeverse announces "TOYSIGHT GOLD" Camera Controlled Games for Mac
New York -- OCTOBER 14th, 2005 -- Freeverse and Strange Flavour today announced the release of the ToySight Gold retail box. The award-winning camera-controlled entertainment software for the Mac adds new games at a new value price - the perfect companion for the new iMac with integrated iSight camera!
Toysight Gold features fifteen interactive games and toys for one or two players. Instead of using a gamepad, mouse, or keyboard, players maneuver themselves in front of an iSight or other firewire camera to control the action. The players are superimposed transparently onto the game screen, and must use arm and hand motions to interact with the games.
It's fun, it's lively, it's silly, and it's amazing to watch. No one, kid or adult, can resist smiling as they flap like a bird or play a harp by just moving their arms in front of a camera.
Ian Lynch Smith, President of Freeverse has said, "The guys at Strange Flavour have worked absolute magic. Anyone with an iSight should own ToySight Gold, and anyone without an iSight should run out and get one to see these games in action. ToySight Gold is a technological wonder."
Among the toys and games in the collection are FlySight, Mars Lander, The Owl and the Pussycat, AirHeads, Submarines, and Laser Harp.
The original ToySight release was greeted with a MacWorld "Best of Show" award as well as an Apple Design Award for innovation.
Priced at only $24.95, ToySight Gold will be available at the Apple Stores and better Mac retailers. It is also available today for pre-order at Freeverse.com and will ship before the end of this month.
