What? Sony patented the banana as a controller for the PlayStation

The controllers supplied with game consoles have transformed in recent years into very smart devices that are crammed with technology. For comparison, we don’t have to go far into history and one brand will suffice. Try to see what they look like and what the drivers can do from the first and latest fifth PlayStation. The Japanese company Sony, which manufactures these popular consoles, is now coming up with an interesting idea. He appeared in a recently discovered patent an ordinary banana like a PlayStation controller. What is the origin and reason of such a strange idea?

Sony aims to be able to control consoles or other smart devices with an ordinary “stupid” object that the user would hold in his hand. Other elements would take care of capturing what one is trying to achieve. Special sensors should be able to do this understand movements and gestures, which the user performs, for example, only with a pencil or spoon in his hand. In even more advanced ways than those already in place today. With a bit of exaggerated exaggeration, Sony chose a banana for the patent for this future PlayStation controller. As is the case with similar ideas and strange revolutionary registrations, here too it is not at all certain whether he will leave the drawer.
