Amid the trend of deep integration between mobile gaming and augmented reality (AR) technology, the co-branded AR game controller from Rokid and GameSir is here! This revolutionary collaboration showcases the combined expertise of both parties in the realms of technology and design. This article will explore the journey behind this innovative AR game controller and the development process, uncovering how it brings an unprecedented immersive game experience to players.

 

The Genesis of Collaboration

With AR technology maturing, the demand for AR immersive experiences in the gaming market continues to grow. As a pioneer in the AR field, we possess extensive expertise in optical display and spatial computing technologies. Meanwhile, our partner, GameSir, with its rich experience in gaming peripherals, has a deep understanding of players' control needs.

Both Rokid and GameSir observed a gap in the market for a portable, multifunctional AR game controller that could seamlessly integrate with AR glasses. Recognizing the potential of combining AR technology with a game controller to significantly enhance the immersion of mobile gaming, we agreed that a collaborative effort was necessary. Consequently, we joined forces to develop an AR game controller that not only interfaces perfectly with AR smart safety glasses but also offers a variety of features, filling a void in the market.

Development Process of the Co-branded AR Game Controller  

This collaboration has united the core team from Rokid and GameSir. Rokid's spatial computing experts, with their profound technical acumen, ensure robust AR compatibility and visual performance for the product. Meanwhile, GameSir's seasoned industrial designers and interaction engineers, focusing on ergonomics and control logic, guarantee the controller's comfort and operational responsiveness. The team from both sides has convened numerous in-depth discussions to map out the product's development trajectory and fine-tune its details. From initial game controller drawings to 3D modeling, this AR game controller has undergone several evolutionary phases.

At the project's inception, both teams engaged in several brainstorming sessions, generating innovative ideas ranging from the controller's button layout and material selection to its connection methods with AR glasses. However, the development process presented numerous challenges, the most significant of which was how to integrate advanced haptic feedback capabilities while maintaining the controller's palm-sized portability and comfort for extended use. Team members conducted extensive user research and data analysis, continuously experimenting with different design schemes to find the optimal balance between functionality and comfort.
