The purpose of the technology is to bring that issue to light and create a way to provide a more enriching haptic experience. The filing reads, "An aspect of the present invention to solve the above problem of the conventional example is a controller that includes a sensor using an elastically deformable elastic member, and this sensor detects user's contact with or deforming action of the elastic member and outputs an electric signal based on the detected contact or deforming action in question."

for a material that can simulate temperature feedback to its PlayStation controllers in order to reflect what is going on during gameplay. The filing notes that typical gaming controllers usually use plastic materials that are hard to bend or deform.The purpose of the technology is to bring that issue to light and create a way to provide a more enriching haptic experience.
