ProtoDojo: RoboTouch Controller Prototype

[Dx3Official]

Why are you not a billionare

[MMAFANtastic]

we do need a legit standardized gamepad for the ipad it would make the more hardcore games like dead space, sports games, 9mm, all those top line ipad games must easier to control with physical buttons

[rileymayhem20]

Mr. Jobs needs to call you asap, put some bluetooth in it and I'll be the 1st one to buy it before my heavy hands break my iPad

[strgzr53]

you should look into xpadder. maybe hack it and use it to your advantage.

できてないやん

[carlitosbrigante1469]

this is pretty cool, but it defeats the purpose of having a remote to control ur ipad, it blocks the screen and thats what people don't want.

[a31887]

lol you rule :)

[acenumbah1]

awesome!!! good work man :)

[timb1986]

Where do you connect the conductive arms to? Ground on the iPad??

[ProtoDojo]

@timb1986 They connect to the ground on the arduino. Actually, I'm working on a second version without the servos and simulating touches just by manipulating this connection. :)

@ProtoDojo

This was kind of a fun detour though! ;-)

[ledzeplin101]

now do it with the nintendo power glove.

[DominusVita]

Pretty clever :p Seems like something you might see Ben Heck fiddling with. Good stuff.

[HappyHarey]

Yes, but can it play fruit ninja? 

[thetwentyfourth]

Fun! It's a shame to introduce any latency though. Surely all these different devices should just have USB ports and open APIs for controllers... Arbitrary limitations suck. Manufacturers should give people the facility to use devices however they want. We're just going to hack it anyway, otherwise.

redundant 

[fpm335]

Wow, the whole point of this video seems to go over some of your heads. He's just showing off his cool hack, it was featured on engadget, which counts for more than any of you idiots can say.

[roketman600]

sucks that you have to attach those suction cups. Same concept as wii mote on android tablets. Without the cups. Lol

[dandik123]

this is the retardest thing i have ever seen in my fucking life

dude u paid 500$ for that thing and u dont have a pc in your home? fuck you

/watch?v=Sm24kY6eDYs

this is creativity

[akhalidy]

Also is there a way possible of making this wireless instead of wired?

dude, you gotta make this happen.

Post a link for donations!

[akhalidy]

OMG, this is awesome, thinking about all the games I can use this for, Please show us how you did it or post a source code and instructions, I would even totally buy this bro.

Make it happen!

[Ryguy1450]

Now HDMI adapter out to HD TV (ipad 2) and just play like a console. EPIC. 

[SamzaNemesis]

[shnakle1]

[DontBplayaHaten]
