Picture this: a gaming handheld that looks like it stepped out of an e-book reader, complete with an E Ink display. Enter Figment, the brainchild of developer Pedro Porras Luraschi, and let’s just say it’s the quirky cousin of your beloved Nintendo Switch.
This 7.5-inch wonder isn’t just for playing games; it’s designed for crafting your own choose-your-own-adventure narratives. And guess what? It brings along an AI co-author to spice up those stories, filling in the gaps like a friend who swoops in with pizza when the party is dying down.
But hold your horses! Before we get too carried away, remember, Figment is still in the concept phase, which means it’s more of a ‘what-if’ than a ‘let’s buy this thing and ignore our responsibilities.’ Still, the notion of E Ink in the gaming world is undeniably fascinating. It’s like blending a book club with a gaming session—who wouldn’t want to read and game while pretending to be productive?
So, is this the dawn of E Ink gaming handhelds, or just a one-hit wonder? If you’re intrigued, you can sign up for updates and keep dreaming of pixels in black and white. Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled on the horizon of gaming innovation. The future is weird and wonderful, and Figment might just be the beginning of a technicolor daydream!
