# Innovative Gaming Tablets A 10-Inch Curved Screen Establishes an Immersive Play Experience By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-03-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-tablet References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/03/19/a-gamers-wet-dream/) & [designbybeau](http://designbybeau.com/work/) Going beyond small-screen mobile video games, this gaming tablet fills a gap in the market for embarking on virtual quests on-the-go. Plenty of gamers are happy enough to lug laptops to keep their favorite pastimes close at hand, yet I bet that they'd be convinced to shed some weight, were this device to become a reality. Beau Reid designed the Xgamer as a [handheld gadget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-flip-1s-kb) with a super slim display, and he wanted the experience of interaction to be immersive. This goal led him to model the touchscreen as an arc shape, offering 180-degree views in a resolution of 1080 pixels in width. To play this [virtual reality gaming tablet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viture-x-8bitdo-ultimate-mobile-controller), the user has access to small joysticks and buttons that are concealed on a panel that's layered behind the display. This arrangement optimizes engagement with the graphics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Gaming Tablets:** The trend of virtual reality gaming tablets presents an opportunity for immersive gameplay experiences on-the-go. - **Curved Screen Gaming Tablets:** The trend of curved screen gaming tablets offers a more immersive and visually engaging gaming experience. - **Slim Display Gaming Tablets:** The trend of slim display gaming tablets provides gamers with a lightweight and portable gaming solution. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can capitalize on the trend of virtual reality gaming tablets to create new gaming experiences. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can leverage the trend of curved screen gaming tablets to attract customers with visually stunning displays. - **Technology:** The technology industry can tap into the trend of slim display gaming tablets to innovate and create thinner and more portable devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Approachable Handheld Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-3.md) - [Handheld PC-Grade Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-xplayer-x1.md) - [Handheld 3D Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abxylute-3d-one.md) - [Smartphone-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-series-a.md) - [Foldable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-flip-concept.md) - [Handheld Gaming Laptop Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-rover-play.md) - [Handheld Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playfusion.md) - [Multipurpose Gaming Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onexplayer-x1-air.md) - [Ultra-Portable Gaming Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-rog-flow-z13.md)
