Those who are into gaming have previously required dedicated consoles in order to play, but the 'Potan' handheld entertainment device is intended to offer advanced functionality.
The 'Potan' works by incorporating a tablet display that is capable of being removed from a modular control dock that can be completely customized to suit different needs. This is thanks to the ability to interchange the controls to feature joypads, number pads, touch pads and more.
The 'Potan' handheld entertainment device enables users to enjoy the functionality of a tablet without having to give up on their love for traditional controller gaming. The 'Potan' draws on the design inspiration from devices such as the Nintendo Wii U and Switch consoles as well as others that put the screen into the handheld unit.
The 'Potan' is the design work of Sangun Kim and Yongsun Kim.
