Dual Sensual

DualSensual is a playful but serious experiment in repurposing the PS5 DualSense controller as a high-fidelity haptic device. While originally designed for games, the DualSense hardware lends itself surprisingly well to adult, artistic, and alternative interactive experiences. This project exposes and remaps those features in real time. For consenting adults, curiosity, and creative misuse of hardware.
