Smule, a new developer of what the company's calling interactive sonic applications for the iPhone, launched its first product, the Sonic Lighter, on the iPhone App Store for $0.99 today.

Here are a few features of Sonic Lighter:

  •  
    • Multi-touch and tilt input to ignite and/or manage flames
  •  
    • Sonic Modem (via speaker and microphone) to ignite adjacent Sonic Lighters
  •  
    • Breath and wind input (modeled over microphone) to extinguish flames
  •  
    • Global flame map indicates where you and others have created light

    Check out Sonic Lighter in action in the video below:

     

    This is the first in a series of applications to come from Smule, which was founded by a group of Stanford and Princeton music PhDs.
