Virtual Cube announces what will be its first official project – The Virtual JoyStick (to be also known as ‘The VJStick’). A simulated game controller that gives you an unprecedented ability to play any kind of video game on a smart television or Personal Computer, with just your mobile phone as the controller (gamepad). The VJStick does not require any additional software or plug-in to work. It is self-enabling.
“Most offices of today come with some recreational setup
for staffs to relax and recharge their batteries and you will find game
consoles, board games, snooker and table tennis in game rooms of most organization.
For any company with game rooms, VJStick will be a great
addition to their suite of games and it will be smooth and sleek to play. Users
will simply have to bring out their mobile phones and use it as a controller!
They can have a quick hyper causal game over lunch or at the end of a meeting,
bonding better with each other and fostering team spirit.
For organizations without a gaming room, we’d be more
than happy to help set one up as VJStick only needs an Internet connected screen
(PC or SmartTV) to work.
For away days and team bonding sessions, VJStick will be
ideal as there are openings for competitions and other activity management.”
– Richard Awe, Virtual Cube’s Business Developer.
The VJStick is easy to use
Using VJStick will be as simple as visiting a link and
establishing a connection with your viewing device. VJStick isn't a 'mirror'
application, so doesn't require you to play your games on your phone while they
get projected on a larger screen. Rather, as a fully comprehensive virtual
gaming pad, it gives you control from your mobile device, therefore making your
traditional hardware joystick gadgets unnecessary.
The earliest release of VJStick will be targeting offices
and corporate spaces.
