Need Ideas For A Prototype

Perhaps something that involves some sort of.. 'sexual' activity?

I have an idea so great it could make millions of dollars. So I won't be sharing it with you.

Besides, there is no such thing as a new idea for game control. So many have been done already, just with older technology. Go look at failed controllers of the 90s.

A voice powered controller? Like when u say boom-boom-boom in cod, it fires? It could be useful for handicapped people....

I own the rights of that idea, so if u become a millionaire with it, I will sue u :)

idk.. an upside-down joystick (held with one hand) with a mouse (held by the other hand) secured to the "top" (base of the joystick) that moves the joystick.

sorry if this sounds lame, but it's the best idea i can contribute at the moment

A controller for using with your feet.

A device that lets you control games with your mind

New to gaming?

A prototype device, due on Friday?

Good luck with that.

Either you're about three months late to start thinking about this, or your professor is a hairy asshole.

Just but some accelerometers and gyroscopes into a mouse so u can pick it up and control stuff then we can play mobile game ports that use it. And maybe shake it up or down to change gears in car games or other random novelty uses.

A keyboard on touchscreen! Well, it's not the best idea, but Im pretty sure there are no touchscreen keyboards for PCs and consoles today.

Ok, Grab some wood.........Play with it.......Show splinters to teacher xD

Nah Hmm, Lets see....

Create a Haptic Feedback device for your body, You can use pieces of wood, Straps and elastic bands ( this is as good as your going to get on such short notice)

If that fails, Punch your teacher and just say you just created an idea for a Graphic adventure novel in which a teacher murders his student for some unknown reason ;) and your just setting the scene.

Have you seen Sword Art Online? i want that xD

They only want some stupid idea, nothing useful or though-out. It's one week, that's what you can expect.

I'd actually like to see a type of keyboard and mouse that works with all types of consoles, or at least with the popular one ( PS and XBox ). And I said that because the controllers are amongst the first reasons why I don't play on/or buy consoles. I can't phadom anything on a controller. I can barely adapt to playing a FPS game on a console after tenths of hours and even then, I'm not good at all in the multiplayer component of the game.

So, if you could come up with something like that, that'll be great. I'm sure that there are others like me, perhaps casual gamers or people who barely have time to play but still do when they get a chance.

I hope that this helped you or gave you a bit of inspiration. I wish you good luck with your project and I'm looking forward to seeing your prototype become reality.

Good luck with your prototype, it will be tough to come up with something new that can be made as a prototype by Friday. I have some ideas that I am saving for my computer engineering design course that might take a while. Here is one that is a little easier but maybe not that great of an idea...

Basically a mouse that is upright, so you can grip it like the wii nunchuck. There would be a trigger in place of the right click, scrolling with the mouse as well as a little control pad. The other fingers could have access to some buttons they could be bound to.

Smell, wind, rumble. Sensations from the game, to the reality.

Think about it ;)

Bump for definitive idea and (small) giveaway.
Thanks to everyone who helped and tried to help.

Camera on monitor/TV that senses movement of eyeballs. After calibration, you can check which part of screen user is looking. Blink her/his left eye = LMB, right = RMB.

nem a propósito, na CES

it's easy to get more ideas from that site, gl ;)

I have an idea. It's something like touchscreen just you don't need to "touch" anything. There is like ten lasers that people can't see and on opposite side there is a "thing" that catches those laser beams. Your hand is between laser beams and a "thing" and you could zoom in, zoom out, go to next page with your bare hand. That would be better than the mouse...
