📱 Mini App Features: Motion Tracking

Last November, Telegram Mini Apps received one of the most significant updates in their history. As a result, developers gained a wealth of new features to build innovative and engaging applications around.

🎮 One feature that immediately stands out is motion tracking. Its concept is remarkably simple: Mini App detects your device’s movement in space and uses it as a sort of controller within a game.

The first apps emerged within days, and we’ve already covered some of them, like Bananometer and TON Shaker.
▪️ Bananometer: This app uses the accelerometer for shaking mechanics, letting you shake to grow your banana.
▪️ TON Shaker: Also relies on the accelerometer, but focuses more on the classic concept of earning tokens through shaking.

✏️ Naturally, this is just one example of how developers can use motion tracking. Steering a vehicle, adjusting the camera from a character’s perspective, or shaking the device are among the most obvious applications. More advanced and creative uses will be showcased by future apps in our Apps Center.
