“Convert your N95 into a Star Wars light saber”

by James Thornton

Growing up in the Eighties, most of my pals wanted to be Luke Skywalker. None of them made it. However, these days there are so many fancy dress costumes and Star Wars toys around that it's quite easy to pretend you're a Jedi.

Now you can take the Force around with you wherever you go thanks to this rather fun app for the Nokia 95. The device's much-hyped 'accelerometer' allows the phone to track movements, meaning that every time you swing the device LightSaber plays the sound of the famous war stick.

The noises are pretty realistic and it features the famous swooshing sound along with the noise of two light sabers touching. There's also an illuminated screen that's great for impressing your mates in the dark (or demonstrating how sad you are to be waving around a phone and pretending it's a weapon from Star Wars).

LightSaber is a fun diversion and a good example of how the power of the N95's accelerometer can be harnessed by applications, in much the same way as the motion-sensitive controllers for the Wii work.

Ultimately, LightSaber doesn't actually serve any purpose, but it will provide endless laughs for Star Wars fans with an N95.

That’s right, with this app, you can use your Nokia N95 as a lightsaber. Well, it makes the right sounds, anyways. Install the app (this must be on the phone’s internal memory, NOT the memory card), and then press the center button on the d-pad to power your new lightsaber on. Swing it around and you get the cool sound effects, including one for when two sabers clash.
