On a completely separate note, this might be a great reason to target android... if it works.
- GuiA 14y agoThe human hands are notoriously hard to design for; controllers are a very hard to improve design, much like computer mice.
- sigkill 14y agoI wonder how comfortable it'd be if the controllers were split in the center and the resultant looked like dual nunchucks. You could join them by a cable and add motion detection too. Since the left and right hands are essentially now independent to move, the developers have a lot more creative freedom with movement controls.
- GuiA 14y agoAre you thinking about this? :) http://i.imgur.com/lpDqH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lpDqH.jpg
- sigkill 14y agoWell not EXACTLY that, but close :D Just imagine taking your normal 360 controller and split it along the center. Now add gyroscope/accelerometer and two tracking cameras/LEDs (just like the WiiMotes).
