Folks over at Games Industy have spotted a recently published Sony Interactive Entertainment patent that aims to allow players to use inexpensive things as controllers. In its illustrations and explanation, the company used bananas and oranges as examples.
?It would be desirable if a user could use an inexpensive, simple and non-electronic device as a video game peripheral,? the application reads. ?The present disclosure seeks to address or at least alleviate some of the above-identified problems.? Sony?s technology would use any ?non-luminous passive object being held by a user? as a controller. Two of the illustrations accompanying the banana example depict dual banana controllers and an augmented reality banana controller.
