"Reimagining motion-based interaction"
KINE reimagines motion-based interaction through the design philosophy of Sony — a PlayStation racket controller that expands immersive sport and fitness gameplay far beyond the screen.
Designed to feel like a natural extension of the body, KINE bridges real-world athletic motion with PlayStation's powerful haptic feedback and motion tracking system.

Physical Prototype
Built &
Tested
The KINE prototype was 3D-printed in PLA to validate grip ergonomics, weight distribution, and the racket frame geometry. The flexible loop frame connects to the handle via a pivoting joint, enabling a full range of swing angles.
The physical build uses 3D-printed PLA for the body with rubber grip, and a steel-core flexible polymer for the racket hoop. USB-C charging is accessible via the handle base.
