I see your game controllers and raise you an invisible one!

Basically, the whole idea is to have a smooth transparent film with turgidity outlines, shaped as analog and digital pads plus buttons. Those who find the idea appealing can join the Kickstarter project, with pledges starting at $6. Obinova is hoping to get $7000 so they can get the project going and their intent is to sell it in stores for $16. People who have donated more than $16 will be receiving their Invisible Gamepad in August, while the rest of the gaming community will be able to enjoy sensible gaming in October.

Might work. The entire problem that touchscreen gaming faces, is the on screen controls. Without physical D-pad and buttons its very hard to maintain your thumbs in the correct positions. Most games rely on millisecond reaction times, any struggle or slip off causes gaming frustration. Bluetooth or usb connected controllers are the only have to go on platform gaming. If the stickers give enough raise surface to be able to feel were your thumbs are, it may work.
