Aligyro

Fun wrist exercises with your phone?

Aligyro Steam Theme on iPhone

Yes there's an App for that!

Now you can exercise your wrist anywhere anytime using your iPhone.

As far as we know, Aligyro is the only physics based gyroscopic wrist exerciser for the iPhone or iPad. It uses the gyro sensor built into any iPhone newer than the 3G, iPod touch (4th gen+) and iPad2 or newer devices to measure the rotation of the device then uses that rotation information to control the onscreen 3D gyroscope.

Aligyro responds to your movements like a real gyroscope but without the resistance force of a real gyroscope. Unfortunately, there is no way for an iPhone or iPad to offer real gyroscopic resistance. However you will need to use the same wrist motions and skills which would be required by a real gyroscopic exerciser.

Aligyro on iPhone

Features

  • 4 levels of play. Even a learning mode to teach you the required wrist motion. For a real challenge, master Wizard level.
  • Multiple themes - The first two themes we call Steam Punk and Space. We leave it to you to guess which is which.
  • Gimbal mode - The 3D gyro can gimbal by tilting the device making the game both more interesting and more challenging.
  • Augmented Reality mode - Press the camera icon and watch the background disappear to be replaced by whatever the camera is pointed at. It really feels like you are holding and moving a real gyro. Except for the lack of resistance of course.
  • Sound effects to help keep your wrist motions synchronized with the gyro motion.
  • Cool 3D scenes with motion sensitive lighting and shadows.

Disclaimers

Warning! As you gain wrist flexibility, coordination and speed using Aligyro, you will be moving your device around faster and faster. Don't get carried away and throw or drop it! If you have a new iPod Touch, use the strap. Be careful.

The real world devices are known by the trade names Powerball, Dynabee or Dynaflex. The Aligyro App and MOEDAE have no relation with Dynaflex.
