The conceptual 'Modulus' modular gaming controller has been designed by Min Chang KIM as a piece of equipment imagined for the near-future to be used within the Metaverse. The controller would work in a number of ways to support users as they participate in gaming or interaction from home with their smart TV unit. The device could accommodate a smartphone to be paired with it or for use on its own to support a range of different needs.
The conceptual 'Modulus' modular gaming controller works with a series of interchangeable control buttons and pads to function effectively with a range of different in-home scenarios. This includes gaming, but could be extended beyond for intuitive navigation in the virtual world.
