Researchers And Design Artists Manufacture A Biologically Functional Video Game Controller

The world of technology and video games go hand in hand, and in this case, a little bit literally. Along with our environment and the advancements of renewable resources, necessity is the mother of invention. Several inventors have dabbled in innovation with a new style of game controller, produced by bioorganic resources.

Reported by Yanko Design, the biohybrid controller was grown from bacteria and yeast, and fused electronic components. The creators were Vivien Rousell (a PhD candidate in biology and design), Marc Teyssier (Interaction Designer and Creative Technologist), and Madalina Nicolae (PhD candidate: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Biodesign, and Embedded Systems). A part of the goal is to see what a future could possibly become with a stronger reliance on natural and renewable resources.

Plastics and casings make up a lot of manufactured material, increasing mankind's carbon footprint. The increasing use of A.I. generated imagery has also proven to be incredibly wasteful, relying on copious amounts of rare and natural minerals. Advancements in technology are also met by high costs. The road to circumventing the great output is a long one, but not impossible.
