Som du kan se på billedet i bunden af denne nyhed, så ligner controlleren til forveksling PlayStation Move-controlleren, dog med den store forskel at der er en berøringsfølsom overflade på den.
Beskrivelsen af den nye controller i patentet lyder som følger:
A controller device to interface with a computer gaming system includes a body having a handle and an object disposed at one end of the handle. A touch surface is disposed on one side of the handle. The touch surface has an indicator that is identified by a surface characteristic on the touch surface. The touch surface provides an area for receiving directionality control in response to interfacing by a finger of a user.
In addition to the touch surface, a plurality of buttons are disposed on the body. A circuitry is disposed in the body of the controller. The circuitry is configured to receive data indicative of a directionality control and transmit the data to a game console for impacting an action by a program executing on the computer gaming system.
Der er ikke nogen officiel udmelding fra Sony endnu omkring patentet, derfor er det heller ikke sikkert at controlleren som omtales i patentet nogensinde bliver til noget. Vi følger naturligvis op, hvis der skulle kommet nyt om den på et tidspunkt.
