motion controllers
Gesture-tracking gaming peripherals
Motion controllers are handheld devices that translate physical movement into input for video games or other software.
Unlike traditional gamepads with buttons and joysticks, motion controllers track position, orientation, and gesture in three-dimensional space.
The Nintendo Wii popularized the concept; VR systems like PlayStation VR and Meta Quest rely on paired motion controllers for immersive interaction: swinging the motion controller to serve in virtual tennis.
