Butterfly Effect for StarAgilis

Prompted to design a console/controller. Heavily influenced by the ergonomics and user experience around semi and pro gamers holding their controllers for long periods of time. That is where the unique organic form on the back comes into play. In addition to the longer controller feel to help assist pro gamers with more button options is including a third trigger controller to help maximize their experience and create new combos within gameplay. This final design was accomplished through multiple foam studies to test different unique fits for the hand, and full scale 3D prints to see the final vision through.
