This Case Turns Your iPad Into the Ultimate Gaming Machine
What if you could have an iPad case that gives you better control over your games? That's the promise of Audojo, the case with joysticks and buttons that its makers say can turn your iPad into the ultimate gaming machine.
The cool thing about this iPad case is that it makes up for the weaknesses of the iPad when it comes to gaming. Attach an iPad 2, 3 or 4 to this case, and you'll have precise control using a couple of actual analog joysticks. In addition, you'll have two physical trigger buttons that are sorely missed when gaming on an iPad, especially with first-person shooter games.
Just above the joysticks are a couple of stereo speakers that but are designed to sound better than that single tinny speaker on all the iPads. The company says there will be two headphone jacks in the final version as well.
Audojo not only enhances gameplay with a tablet in your hands, but it also supports AirPlay. That will let you send your iPad's video to a larger screen that supports such things.
Considering that according to Flurry Analytics, 67% of all activity on iPads has to do with gaming, an iPad case that doubles as a precision controller is long overdue.
Audojo's creators are working with gaming manufacturers to make it easier to integrate support for this new controller/case, and they plan to provide a package that supports the Unity engine, used by 50% of mobile developers. In addition, they plan to make the case integrate with other game engines, and plan to offer a native software developers kit (SDK) for those who would like to create games and features for this hardware.
Currently, this Kickstarter project still has about $200,000 to go until it meets its goal of $240,747 when its deadline hits 26 days from now. So we'll see if the gaming community rallies around this innovative device.
