Virtual Reality Controller

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I have developed and patented a new controller that bridges the gap between standard controllers and the Virtual Reality controllers of the future. It has had overwhelmingmy positive responses so far on Facebook ( Www.facebook.com/virgevr ).

 

Now I do not know if this is the right type of question for here but I hope it can help. I am trying to figure out ways of contacting companies and be taken serious. Microsoft doesn't take unsolicited product development ideas. And I imagine Sony to be the same way. I have approached MadCatz and haven't been called back. I can easily take it to market on Windows. It works great with a few things to iron out. I have played Bioshock with it for a while. Problem being it would be way better marketed to consoles. How do I get past the propriety signals for the consoles, legitimately. Is there a certain route I need to take or are consoles a loss for me?

    That is like a proper way to transverse a minefield. No matter what you do the results are too often fatal. Unless you Wow someone that matters, big companies will not react well especially knocking on…

    The best/only way to deal with proprietary protocols is to work on a relationship with the relevant msnufacturer(s). Make sure you come across as confident and knowledgable while being flexible and open to advice/suggestions.

    There doesn't seem to be a good way to do this. It's all emails and re routes. Never get a number Or a person to talk to.
