Interesting idea, but wouldn't the devise register a false hit if the sword hits an obstacle in the environment?

The creator acknowledged this possibility [1] (fwiw it appears they do use accelerometer data to discount obvious false hits), but mentioned that they hope to include a proximity detection circuit in the multiplayer adapter so that scoring will be more honest.
