It can be a little annoying when you’re playing a game while using your fingers or thumbs to control the action and movement. Your digits can also get in the way of watching a video or movie when using the player controls or when scrolling through a screen.
Apple has recently applied for a new patent which shows adding visual indicators and touch-sensitive buttons to the iPad’s bezel for an added “secondary display”. The new patent features are also included in future iPhone versions(shown in image above). Adding these touch-sensitive areas would enhance the user experience and help users navigate through apps and anything else viewable on the iPad.
The patent application is called “Electronic Devices with a Primary Display and a Selectively Illuminated Secondary Display” and notes the current method of displaying a virtual button within the viewable screen showing where to press for further action occupies space that can be used more for content and less for buttons.
If these features are developed, gaming and video play will be drastically changed and made easier for the user.
