Industry development trend and technical follow-up of handles
With the rapid development of the game market and the continuous upgrading of players' needs, the handle as a game controller is also experiencing a series of technological innovations and development trends. This paper will discuss the future development direction of handle industry from three angles: market, technology and application.
First, product iterative upgrade driven by market demand
1. Multi-platform compatibility: At present, the mainstream game platforms on the market include PC, host (such as PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) and mobile devices. In order to meet the game needs of users in different scenarios, handle manufacturers need to develop products with multi-platform compatibility. For example, the Xbox Series X/S wireless controller exhibited at E3 in 2023 supports connecting to Windows 10 PC and Android devices via Bluetooth, providing users with a wider choice of use.
2. Ergonomic design: Playing games for a long time can easily lead to problems such as wrist pain or increased fatigue, so how to reduce the physical burden of users has become one of the focuses of manufacturers. For example, Logitech G923 Racing Wheel Pro series has adopted a brand-new force feedback mechanism, which allows players to experience all kinds of situations in the driving process of racing cars more truly. On the other hand, Razer Nunchuk added soft rubber material to the grip to improve comfort and stability.
Second, technological innovation promotes industrial upgrading and transformation
1. Tactile feedback technology: With the popularization of new interactive modes such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), tactile feedback has become an indispensable part of a new generation of high-end game controllers. This technology can simulate the sensory information such as surface texture, weight and even temperature of objects, making players feel as if they are in a game. Sony DualSense wireless controller is one of the best in this field, which is equipped with adaptive trigger and HD tactile engine, providing users with unprecedented immersive experience.
2. Intelligent operation mode: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms are also applied to the development of intelligent handles. They can be personalized according to users' preferences, and the control logic can be optimized through deep learning. In addition, some start-ups are trying to integrate speech recognition technology into their products, so that users can complete complex game operations with simple verbal instructions.
Third, application scenario expansion promotes diversified layout
1. Education and training field: In addition to traditional entertainment purposes, game controllers can also be used in education, medical care and other fields. For example, Microsoft has cooperated with Harvard Medical School in the United States to launch a mental health assessment project called "Project EVO", which uses Kinect somatosensory devices to conduct attention tests; There is a similar case in China-Tencent QQ Music APP launched a KTV interactive software called "Sing it", which realizes online singing and scoring functions through the matching microphone handle.
2. Sports and fitness industry: In recent years, more and more people have begun to pay attention to health problems, so sports e-sports have gradually emerged. For example, the fitness ring adventure on the Nintendo Switch is a work that combines motion capture technology and physical exercise principle; In addition, fitness apps like Keep also provide special peripheral accessories such as skipping rope and tension belt to help people easily achieve the goal of shaping and losing weight at home.
To sum up, we can foresee that in the next few years, the game controller will further develop in the direction of intelligence and humanization, and its application scenarios will become more and more extensive. At the same time, relevant enterprises need to keep up with the pace of the times and strengthen their investment in technology research and development in order to remain invincible in the highly competitive market environment.
