RACING GAME CONTROLLER

To showcase my craft in model building using real material and machinery, I was tasked to build a unique video game controller prototype to serve a specific function. I chose to design and build a controller for racing games, one that would make it easier for children and adults to grip their steering wheel as if they were really driving. With a curved form as the base for the steering portion of the controller, I wanted to capture the ergonomic feel of a wheel for the easiest movement while still having a comfortable fit to grasp onto. For material, I used a high-density urethane foam, primer, epoxy glue, plastic controller buttons, bond filler, and spray paint to create a prototype that looks as realistic as possible. In addition, I was able to 3D print the D-pad for the controller using Solidworks and a 3D print lab.
