01 / OVERVIEW
About this product
Give phone play a physical feel.
FlipPad is a commissioned development project for a slim smartphone game controller. MIIMOO is exploring physical buttons and a folding structure around both how it feels while playing and how it packs away between sessions.
What it makes possible.
Exploring a folding structure for carrying
Prototyping the balance of slimness and feel
TACTILE PLAY
Bring a tactile response to phone play.
A fixed place to rest a finger, a response you can feel when you press. FlipPad explores those small physical cues for mobile games. Button placement and grip are being developed together with its structure.
PACK AWAY
Fold the idea into everyday carry.
Open it for play, close it for carrying. The challenge is achieving that change with a practical thickness and structure. FlipPad remains a prototype; supported devices, connection methods and retail specifications are not yet confirmed.
