I’m a trained architect, though I have industrial designer envy. “I use AutoCAD for all my 2D design work, and the 3D is done in Inventor though I plan on moving to Fusion 360 soon. Campusano plans to make his next version of the device thinner and with better tactile controls, but he stressed that the current prototype is the closest he’s come to making the device he envisioned almost a decade ago.Ĭampusano explained to me his design process and the stats of his remarkable machine: A month later he had a working prototype for a handheld Steam Machine based on Renner’s design, the same prototype that he exhibited at Maker Faire New York 2016. The concept reignited his passion for his stalled Game Boy project. Still, the version he exhibited at Maker Faire New York drew a crowd.įlorian Renner’s ‘game boy up1’ concept which inspired Campusano’s designĪbout a month ago, a friend of Campusano’s sent him an image of Florian Renner’s ‘game boy up1’ concept, a modern take on the Game Boy. He expects to improve battery life, as well. Campusano plans to print a version for sale, albeit with a new moniker, once he manages to make it lighter, thinner and more ergonomic. Interestingly, Campusano chose to prototype his Game Boy-inspired gaming system in Shapeways‘ White Strong & Flexible material. Gone are the classic cartridges, replaced by SD card and USB jack. While his game system is ostensibly based on the venerable Nintendo Game Boy, first released in Japan in 1989, his system is quite a bit more capable and has updated stylizing and a larger, high-res display.

And the first thing that caught my eye on Sunday was a nifty little gaming system by Anthony Campusano, a New York-based architect.Ĭampusano is a game aficionado and about 8 years ago he got it into his head to make a portable PC to play games on. I’m glad I went both last Saturday and Sunday, because I would have missed some great stuff had I not come back for the second day. In fact, due to the ever-changing layout of the event, it’s hard to know where to start first. I’ve attended Maker Faire New York every year since Make Faire came to New York, and it’s been wildly different every year.
You never know what you’re going to see at Maker Faire.
