Called Tactile+: It's like a screen protector where you feel real buttons and a gamepad for games. Check it out http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/tactile-phone-lets-blind-access-multi-media-features-with-digital-texture/
fail it's Braille. most of the tactile pins. And it's not even for any device yet so this post is too early. Yawn
Yeah I read about this a while ago. Personally I don't want any controller or physical buttons - the touchscreen suits me fine. But people who prefer buttons might like it.
I quite liked the look of this when I first seen it but the fact their disposable one use things kind of killed it for me. I do think it's a great idea though and could really help in some games but someone needs to make a reusable overlay and then I guess games would have to all support the same controls as well. I think the odds are slim but I can still see potential there.
I also like the touchscreen, but some games can often be unresponsive, and for those games I wouldn't mind having some sort of button or joystick. I also have fat fingers lol, so they block the screen sometimes. Do you happen to know if there are any other peripherals coming for gaming? Like a controller or something.
The only other control peripheral I know of is the "iControlPad". I don't think it's available yet, but you can check their website for any updates: http://icontrolpad.com/
3.0 and the ability to use peripherals in 3rd party applications was introduced over a year ago, and yet no one has released a controller shell yet. What are they waiting for?
