Who says you need stunning graphics and intense visuals to enjoy playing a game? Mike McCracken doesn’t think so. In fact, he is the inventor of a new Audio Ping Pong game thats uses only your ears and the tilting motion of your head play the game.

The way Audio Ping Pong works is that a sound comes out of earphones placed on your head that resembles a ball rolling towards one side of your noggin. The object is to tilt your head either left or right to get the ball to stay balanced. As the game progresses the speed of the audio ball increases, making it harder to play.

Now granted you won’t look like the smoothest person in the world playing Audio Ping Pong. In fact, McCracken admits you look like a dork playing it. It could, however, have its uses in entertainment for the visually impaired or perhaps people that want to try a different type of game. Just don’t go crazy and give yourself whiplash when Audio Ping Pong hits the streets.
