Xbox will likely try to respond to Sony’s revolutionary DualSense gamepad, at least that’s what a newly registered patent from Microsoft suggests.
The best games of this year as voted by you.
When even before the release of the current generation consoles, there was talk of innovation, the hardware in the console itself was often discussed, but Sony cleverly looked at it from other sides as well and focused on the DualSense game controller, which is undoubtedly a very important part of playing and the overall experience. In the end, it turned out that the new technology with haptic feedback can draw the player much more into the game and can even be considered a revolution among gamepads. Unfortunately, Xbox couldn’t answer that, and the controllers for the Xbox Series X/S consoles haven’t undergone too many changes.
However, this could change with the next generation Xbox. Observant people registered the newly filed protective order grade from the company Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC at Patentscope.Wipo. Both the description itself and the attached image suggest that Microsoft wants to respond to the positively received technology in DualSense.
Briefly
“This device includes a housing, a connector, and a haptic motor. The connector includes a mounting end attached to the housing and a remote end that is separate from the mounting end. The haptic motor is connected to the far end of the connector. Activating the haptic motor causes it to move relative to the housing, generating haptic feedback.”
Complete description
“A haptic engine can be integrated into a variety of devices such as handheld, wearable or other devices to provide users with immediate feedback as they interact. This feedback, referred to as haptic feedback, usually takes the form of a vibration or impulse. Examples of devices include game controllers, mobile game consoles, smartphones, tablets, game steering wheels, controllers, and virtual reality (VR) headsets or styluses. For gaming devices, haptic feedback can greatly improve immersion in the gaming experience.
The haptic motor is driven by electrical wave functions that generate a sinusoidal or impulse force. This produces a high-definition (HD) vibration or sharp shock signal matched to the frequency of the force.
The described device includes a housing, a connector and a haptic motor. The connector has a mounting end attached to the housing and a remote end to which the haptic motor is attached. By activating the motor, it moves against the cover, creating a haptic response.
This summary serves to provide a clear presentation of key concepts and basic principles. However, it does not limit the claimed properties of the device or limit its scope. The device is also not limited to addressing the specific deficiencies described herein.“
