Virtual Reality (VR) headset assisted by a smartphone is used as a visual device to provide VR features and another smartphone is used as a table tennis racket. Accelerometer and gyroscope sensors embedded in the phones will play a major role in the gameplay. This game replicates the gaming experience of expensive gaming consoles such as X-box Kinect and Nintendo Wii by providing motion sensing features keeping cost effectiveness as a major concern. The motion sensors embedded in the smartphone being used as a controller (racket) detect movement of the hand and orientation is changed accordingly in the display phone mounted inside the headset.
