controller screen

Post by alexrichoalex » Thu Jan 27, 2011 6:03 am

okay so this isnt a finished project nor even started yet i thought this would be the best place for it so here it goes

well i have seen some fake photo-shop crap of a controller with a screen in it and it got me thinking okay i no that's fake but what if i could do that for real maybe not in the controller more so a attachment for the controller because i was playing my ps3 the other night and needed to go to the toilet being at a very important bit of the game it made me a little mad to have to pause it to go toilet and i was thinking what it there was a screen to attach and u could plug it in and go toilet or what ever and play then i done some research and relised i could most likely do this with one of tho av transmitters only using the controller for the battery or have a built in battery if it drains to much power but what do u guys think this would it b possibly or not and yes i no most av transmitters are bulky but ill try and find a small one unless u guys no a good one

We call what you're describing a 'WVI' here, short for Wireless Video Interface.

Here's one techknott made for PS3.

Edit: Why did you post a picture of a Hip Gear Screen Pad and then link a WVI, Hifeno? Very different things, the Hip Gear is wired to the console. Plus, you made this post retro-actively redundant.
