TO START A NEW ERA OF WHAT MADE HANDHELD GAMING SPECIAL.
Handheld consoles were an innovative form of gaming that broke the market decades ago with their unique selling point in gaming, but currently lack any potential in the gaming industry.
When smartphones were introduced to the market, they let users browse, play, and listen on the go, combining handheld gaming portability with far more capability.
What truly define a handheld console? Is it the portability or something more?
Portability has led the current market products to be all flat within the view angle and ergonomics.
THE GOAL:
CREATE A HANDHELD CONSOLE THAT OFFERS A REAL EXPERIENCE OF GAMING.
