Fluid Surface Controller

Etienne Surprenant Legault

This project seeks to take the interaction between the controller and the player to the next level. The new surface created for the game controller deforms and changes shape directly under the players’ fingers. It sends an organic feedback via force push as opposed to the mechanical feedback from the vibrations. This project engages touch in a new way and that needs to be felt.
