High-Powered Gaming Handhelds

Project Fiona is a Tablet for Serious Gamers

— January 17, 2012 — Tech
Tablet gaming is about to get a shot in the arm thanks to Razer's Project Fiona. Razer's Fiona is a conceptual gaming tablet designed to make tablet-based video games actually play like they're supposed to.

While existing gaming tablets offer plenty of enjoyment, there is only so much you can do with swipe and tilt controls. Project Fiona comes with two handles/controllers, each with its own analog stick and eight buttons. The tablet comes fully equipped with Intel Core i7 CPU, a 10.1″ 1280×800 touchscreen and Dolby 7.1 surround sound. The tablet also features Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.

Razer's tablet also makes use of motion controls with its accelerometer, magnetometer and a 3-axis gyro and controllers that provide force-feedback. There is a stark divide between handheld gaming systems and PC games. A device such as Project Fiona could successfully bridge the gap between the two.
Trend Themes
1. Gaming Tablets - The gaming tablet market has potential for further innovation with more superior hardware options like the Intel Core i7 CPU for a more satisfying gaming experience.
2. Advanced Motion Controls - Motion controls like Fiona’s accelerometer, magnetometer and a 3-axis gyro can be incorporated in other industries to enable an enhanced user experience.
3. Cross-platform Gaming - Developing a gaming tablet that could bridge the divide between handheld gaming systems and PC games like Project Fiona allows users to enjoy games across different platforms.
Industry Implications
1. Tablet Manufacturing - Manufacturing companies that produce tablets could add more advanced hardware and controllers to improve the experience for gamers.
2. Motion Sensor Technologies - Motion sensor technologies have the potential to be used in other industries to enable an enhanced user experience.
3. Gaming Industry - The gaming industry can continue to innovate by creating more cross-platform gaming devices that allow users to enjoy console-quality games across different platforms.
