It’s not the first time I write about control methods that are likely to be found in future products, as touchscreens, the main topic here at AllTouchTablet.com are merely an expression of technological advance that took place in past years. In this post I’m going to present you the Puyocon, a new type of controller that might get enough attention and one day find a place in at least a few entertainment devices like game consoles or television sets.

    In essence, Puyocon is a ball fitted with an air balloon inside and 14 pressure sensors on its surface and a three way accelerometer that detects when the ball is being rolled, touched, squeezed or thrown. Bluetooth transmission is used to communicate movements to the master device. Depending on the operator’s actions on Puyocon the cursor moves on the screen, but the place where this gadget really shines are games, as here you’ll be able to control your character, car, boat etc with ease. A short demo video below explains how Puyocon works and shows its advantages in an arcade game.
