Building Upon Everyday Play represents a new opportunity for game play. Where the player’s environment and own creativity is leveraged to create play opportunities outside of the on-screen game. By utilizing motion as the key data input, we take advantage of the player’s physical interactions with the things around them, resulting in a more pervasive gaming experience.

Control Freak Clamps
15. Control Freaks Clamp
Value Propositions
Generic peripheral can be mapped to any game
Potential to be adopted by mainstream gamers and developers
as peripheral controller
Use of multiple clamps can contribute to more complex
interactions
16. Characterization and Narrative
Physical qualities of the character can suggest its use
Imbuing the device with character and story can be a driver for
attachment and play
