Mobile gaming controller concept
BIG IDEA:
The Future of Gaming is MOBILE.
Gamers need an accessory that improves their gaming experience while being friction free to use and play wherever and whenever they are.
Objective:
Explore several archetypes for controllers that securely lock to a phone regardless of size or if it has a case (or not). The Controller must be comfortable to hold and operate off of the phone as well (to accommodate Ipad usage). Each design needs to be manufacturable at scale and enable a friction free attachment and removal of the pocket controllers to the phone.
Known Constraints:
Accommodate IPhone 12, 13 and 14 Lines (with and without Popcases)
Controllers must be securely attached to the phone while gaming
Controllers must be able to be removed in 1-2 steps
When controllers are not attached, must have appealing design and be useable as a controller for tablets
Controllers must be somewhat compact( more compact than competitors ex. Backbone controller) (Fits into Baggy Pockets / jogging pants / hoodie pocket etc)
Nice-to-have:
Controllers can be connected to each other when not on the phone (could utilize an additional simple component like a clip for this)
Accommodate Android Phones (Samsung and Pixel)
Utilize Magsafe or some patentable attachment method that sets our product apart from the competition
