Description:

 Our controller is a physicalized form of the player character. The goal is to give the player the feeling that a child would have while flying a toy plane. In our version however, the effect isn't just in your imagination and instead has tangible results of the game being played. In our controller we really wanted to emphasize the fantasy of it in both its aesthetic and the way the controls are mapped, this layout equates each of the functions to their proper place on the plane; the thrust being on the fuel container, and the fire control being in the cockpit. In the game navigation is incredibly important, as such we’ve aimed to make this as intuitive as possible. Using motion controls, and the aforementioned thrust, we are combining these to give the player an immersive and tactile experience.
