Continuing yesterday’s theme about using the mobile to enhance interaction with other media we have the Megaphone (via Springwise).
The idea is to run a game on a massive screen in a public space, with mobile phone owners being able to join in and play using their mobiles as controllers. They activate their participation with a phone call and thereafter commands can be via voice or their keypad.
Once again, the mobile is acting as a portable virtual mouse, linking the real world and the digital one. This is going to be a hot space.

I hope there is more to this than DTMF tones! Remeber the painful saturday morning kids tv phone in’s where kids failed to handle the keypresses and delays.
