Intuitive Gaming Experience
Overview
Nextouch splits the controls between the left hand, responsible for character movement, and the right hand, responsible for controlling the viewpoint. Each controller focuses on its main function. The motion sensor on the right-hand controller detects where the hand is pointing, signaling how the in-game character should look. Players can aim by simply wiggling their wrist, mimicking the action of aiming a pistol.

Background
As a gamer myself, I've found traditional controller design to be less intuitive for controlling the character's viewpoint. Many new users struggle to achieve the precise movements they intend. In shooting games, aiming and shooting are among the most crucial actions. However, with traditional controllers, using the "mushroom head" joystick to turn and look in different directions isn't intuitive because the controls' plane doesn't align with the screen (the former is horizontal while the latter is vertical).

Branding
By merging the words "Next" and "Touch" to signify next-generation game touch, Nextouch offers an intuitive gaming experience with its distinctive dual controllers available in two rival colors, orange and blue. The Nextouch logo features two controllers as a symbol in its design, with each dual controller positioned in its own distinct color and placed against each other with a slash in the middle, forming the letter X in Nextouch.
