The U-Force
If you have never heard of the U-Force, consider it a blessing. It was created by a company named Boderbund for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Rather than using your entire body to use the controller, you simply wave your hand over the laptop-like shaped device in order to emulate different button presses. Hovering your hand over the top right may have your character jump, while hovering over the bottom left may be a different ability.
The U-Force’s slogan was “so hot, no one can touch it.” It is probably best that no one can touch it because it was one of the worst controllers ever created.
The U-Force used IR sensor panels that reacted to the user’s hand, but rarely operated properly. The gimmick was that it’s using the “force” to control the game, when in reality, it mostly did nothing at all as its sensors hardly worked and failed to properly work in several games.
