Some pictures of Orbital, our new alternative game controller we showcased for the first time during la Petite Game Buvette last weekend at la Cité des Sciences in Paris 👾🌍💫

Made by @leondenise.bsky.social and @emiliecorne.bsky.social 💛
A great guy sitting in front of the globe and looking at the screen. He's slowly rotating the LED globe to play the game. On the back we can see a child jumping on a yoga ball, another controller made by incontrolab. A cute little girl trying to rotate the globe but she's too small and too young to win the game. A teen boy, seeing from the back, sitting in front of the globe and looking at the screen. He's rotating the LED globe to play the game. On the screen we can see the game with a black and white representation of the earth and some touches of green for life and red for asteroids. The alternative controller used to play Orbital : a globe modified to display RGB lights and mimick the controls of a computer mouse. It is disposed on a RGB mouse pad of which the illustration is a black and white map of the world. There is two little disco globes and an LED strip disposed on it.
