Please don't strap this plastic gun to your iPad in public

Immersive gaming is wonderful, but maybe sometimes we just shouldn’t.

Take the PP Gun controller for first-person shooter games as an example. Peripheral design company Mieeo of Shenzhen, China introduced the PP Gun on Kickstarter this week. It’s a gun-shaped controller that you can use to play shooting games on your iPad or Android tablet. You simply strap your tablet onto the end of it, wave the plastic assault rifle around to aim, and pull the trigger … only don’t do that if you’re outside or within eyesight of other people. The Kickstarter is ongoing now, and it’s looking to raise $60,000 — it’s currently at nearly $2,500 with just 18 backers.
