Projects: RealReplay

< Back to the projects overview page...

RealReplay enables you to compete on virtual race tracks in the real world!

It's one of our inherent necessities to compete with other people and to compare ourselves to them. Unfortunately, in many situations this is impossible. The favored opponent might not have time, or maybe you only know him from television.

It would be perfect if we could compete with everyone, without being dependent on their time. No matter if it’s a car race, bike tour, sailing trip or a relaxed hiking tour.

RealReplay offers the solution. You simply choose the track you want to race on, select your opponent and start right away! Your own race will be recorded by an accurate GPS system, which makes it possible to see your own current position and the route your opponent took when he recorded his race. In some games this is known as the “Ghost” mode – now you can race for real!

The game is developed for JavaME, making it compatible to any phone. If you have an external Bluetooth GPS-receiver or a new phone with integrated GPS, you're ready to go! Join the growing community of people all over the world, record your own race tracks and share them with your friends and others that you might not even know (yet?). RealReplay is like Web 2.0 taken to the mobile phone, enabling communities to create their own competitions in real life!

Quick Facts

RealReplay is able to fully utilize internal GPS receivers of the latest mobile phones.
