Handheld Motion-Control Consoles

The UDU CONSOLE Delivers an Interactive Outdoor Gaming Experience

— October 11, 2022 — Tech
'UDU' launched a Kickstarter campaign for its first gaming device titled the 'UDU CONSOLE.' This is a handheld motion-operated console that synchronizes to the UDU GAMES smartphone application via Bluetooth to open up a world of immersive outdoor games. The UDU GAMES app allows users to customize the sensitivity and lighting of their console, as well as manage their user profile and games list.

The UDU GAMES section offers more than 100 individual game titles, which can be purchased individually or accessed through a subscription service. For $10 USD per month, users can play any game on the service with unlimited play time and no advertisements or in-app purchases, meaning there are no pay-to-win titles that favor individuals with more money to spend.

The flagship launch title for the UDU CONSOLE is 'Quest of Aoki.' This is an active role-playing game (RPG) that uses the GPS of the smartphone to place the user in a video game world that 1:1 overlays on the real world. In this world, users leverage the motion controls on the UDU CONSOLE to control their character and defeat monsters while embarking on quests.
