EXEO Modular Gaming Controllers
Exeo modular gaming controllers are a range of motion sensing controllers that allow the gamer to make his own customized controller for every different game. These modules can be used individually or joined together to create a realistic and immersive gaming experiences. I have been lucky enough to have the project featured on Behance and Core77.
Type of Project : Industrial Design
Year : 2017
Status : Prototype
What drives gamers to play games?
Before going any further, I needed to find out what motivates gamers to play games. So, I got involved in the gamer community online and interacted with gamers on Reddit by asking them what motivates them to pay games.

EXEO - Modular Controllers
EXEO is a range of modular gaming controllers focused on providing ultimate realism to the gamers of today by recreating in-game interactions in real life. This means that if you are playing a medieval game, you should feel like you're holding a sword, and if you are playing a racing game, you should feel like you're holding a steering wheel.
EXEO has 3 primary modules -
Brutus (The big brother)
Velox (The agile one)
Terra (The ground hugger)
The 3 modules are designed to cover a large variety of motion controlled games including FPS, Sports and Strategy.
Essential Electronics
Each module will host a processor and a high accuracy accelerometer and gyroscope module. A wireless sensor and a lithium ion battery will ensure seamless wireless connectivity. Additional multi colour LEDs will help bring the ingame feedback closer to the user.
Custom Configurations
The gaming experience comes to life when the gamers use their imagination to create a new controller by combining multiple modules. This encourages creative problem solving, not just in-game but in the real physical world as well. This results in various custom configurations, the options are unlimited but these are just a few examples to inspire the creators.
