Hi, I'm Fidel.
This concept start from a premise: the controller must add new ways to interact to improve the gameplay, so and noting the rise of touch interfaces I decided to create a concept with that kind of interaction, but I realized that the current controller has no space for it.
This isn't a cosmetic solution, nor a expansion for a new feature. This is the result of an analysis and design process.
Let's check the design process first.
ANALYSIS
I drew some sketches trying to keep the look and feel of the traditional PS controller.
But at the end I decided to start with the current shape of the controller, adding smooth transitions between volumes and applying the changes previously studied.
ADDING MORE SPACE+CHANGING HANDS POSITION+NEW STICKS+NEW TRIGGERS = WIN
The NEW controller is only 1cm wider than previous one, but with more space and comfort.
THE CONTROLLER
Introducing the PS4 Controller concept.
The blue one, is my favorite version.
New triggers more comfortable.
Includes chrome rings around sticks.
The LED is visible only when is needed to.
Other flavors.
The surface under the buttons and d-pad is concave. This difference surfaces (Touchpad and buttons).
Better area distribution.
INTERACTION
Thanks for your time.
