Face & head
Map head pitch, yaw and roll—or expressions such as mouth open, smile, brow raise and wink. Personal calibration helps each signal fit you.

Built around intent
The controller adapts to the player—not the other way around.
Combine the inputs that work for you, then decide what each signal should mean. One profile can be precise and minimal. Another can blend several devices and movements together.
01 · Your inputs
Use what works for you.
Start with one familiar device or combine several. Intent Controller normalises every signal before it reaches your control map.
02
Gamepads & joysticks
Use standard USB or Bluetooth controllers, analog joysticks and flight-style controls.
03
Keyboard & mouse
Turn individual keys, clicks and pointer movement into buttons, sticks or triggers.
04
ESP32 & Pico W
Connect custom switches, sensors and accessible hardware over Bluetooth, USB or Wi-Fi.
05
On-screen controller
Build a touch layout with buttons and sticks placed and sized around your reach.
02 · How it works
From signal to intent.
A mapping is more than button A to button B. It expresses what you want to happen, when it should happen and which input takes authority.
-
01
Capture
Add one or more input sources. Raw values are calibrated and normalised into a consistent range.
-
02
Describe
Create intents with one or more actions. Choose tap, hold, combo or chained behaviour when you need it.
-
03
Arbitrate
If signals compete for the same channel, authority, timing, magnitude and reliability determine one clear winner.
-
04
Play
The unified controller state is sent to your chosen output while the safety layer watches every transition.
A map that speaks human
One gesture can do more than one thing.
Name an intent for the outcome you want—Brake, Aim, Jump, Pause—then attach the controls and timing it needs.
- Tap or holdGive one input a different action depending on timing.
- CombosRequire signals to be active together.
- SequencesBuild a cancel-safe chain of actions.
- ProfilesSave, duplicate, import and share complete setups.

03 · Your outputs
Choose where you play.
Build the control map once, then connect it to the output that fits the game and setup in front of you.
PlayStation 5
Send input directly to a PS5 over your network with the built-in Remote Play output.
Xbox
Discover and connect to an Xbox on your local network, then send the same mapped controller state.
Bluetooth HID
Let your Android phone present itself as a Bluetooth gamepad—without an extra hardware bridge.
ESP32 & Pico W
Use an ESP32 as a USB or Bluetooth controller bridge, or connect a Pico W over Wi-Fi.
04 · Safety by design
A handover should never become a surprise.
Intent Controller resolves authority for each control separately. During a lower-authority handover, a non-neutral input can be held at neutral until the player deliberately re-engages it.
Release all
Immediately release every held control.
Stop mapping
Cancel active sequences and stop output.
Auto-release
Opt in per mapping for sustained look or turn axes.
Safety enable
Assign an arming or dead-man control where needed.
