The Cogito concept by Minkyu Oh is a bendable virtual reality controller concept that ensures a uniquely tactile experience. Many AR and VR systems use a stick-like controller and the Cogito concept proposes he idea of a shape-changing rod instead.
It is comprised of various components as the rod can bend and curve to take the form of the object that the technology is aiming to replicate the feeling of. The Cogito concept is rods that trick out brands and hands into believing that we are truly interacting with the imagined ideas, whether it is a gun or a steering wheel when playing a game. The longer controller can also replicate the feeling of holding a virtual guitar.
