Degrees of Freedom



The picture on the bottom is our persona, "Hardcore" Henry that we forgot to post earlier.

The picture on the topanalyzes the degrees of freedom an xbox controller offers vs. a pc controller. An xbox controller offers only 4 degrees of freedom; whereas the pc controller offers 9. So I guess one way to improve the current xbox controller experience (making a superior game experience) is to add more degrees of freedom in an innovative, fun and simple way. Couple ideas we had are:
1) The Wii "headmote" as your head provides you an extra degree of freedom without exhausting your arms further.
2) As I talked about in the meeting, making the grips on the controller "big" buttons where your palm can squeeze together to "click" on those buttons.
3) The xbox controller itself is like a Wii remote where as you move it, you're controlling some part of the game, adding another degree of freedom.
