Embodiment Construction

[0019] overview

[0020] One of the difficulties of working with development software is managing the number of controls available within the development environment. Another problem is performing and adjusting functions using conventional input devices, such as a mouse and keyboard or a stylus and pad. The input device may not be appropriate for the type of input and adjustments that need to be made.

[0021] Embodiments of the present application provide solutions to these problems through the use of dynamic control surfaces that include custom modular input consoles. One of the benefits of the present disclosure is to increase productivity and quality by providing users with intuitive controls that allow users to use dedicated hardware controls to provide multiple inputs for multiple functions. Another benefit is the provision of dedicated hardware controls configured to provide hardware inputs suitable for execution of functions within the content development applicati...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for the dynamic mapping of functions within a content development application to a control surface including a plurality of distinct modular input consoles. The system includes a console controller that is configured to monitor usage of the content development application by the user and to dynamically control the mapping of functions to the control surface based on the contextual operation of the content development application. The console controller can determine the functions that are to be mapped to the control surface based on the context of the application and the functions that are prioritized for use by a user of the content development application.

Description

Background technique [0001] Game development can be a difficult process that requires the use of sophisticated and complex tools. A content development application may have thousands of functions used by a developer to develop a game. Although many times developers continue to use a small subset of available functionality. Often, this is due to the sheer size and complexity of game development applications. It can be difficult for developers to remember all the different features available when authoring content. This can lead to underutilization of the development application by developers who are unfamiliar with the development application or unaware of new features that have been added to the development application. Furthermore, functions may be difficult to perform or manipulate using traditional input devices, such as mice and keyboards. Contents of the invention [0002] The systems, methods, and devices of the present disclosure each have several innovative aspec...
