Developer-enthusiast Ali Tanis has released in the App Store an unusual mobile game RidePods, which is controlled exclusively through AirPods.

Here's What We Know

RidePods is an ordinary arcade motorbike race - there are a lot of such applications for mobile devices. But the author's idea is that the motorbike turns when users, wearing AirPods headphones, tilt their head to the right or left - no buttons on the smartphone need to be pressed.

The game is available for free on iPhone and iPad and won't launch without headphones, and those with head position tracking - all AirPods Pro and AirPods 3 and 4.
