Experienced the debut of a mobile game controller compatible with AR glasses - a game-changer during my 16-hour flight journey.

Flying across the globe for hours on end is never a walk in the park, even for a seasoned traveler like me. But this time, I had a feeling things would be different.

Taking a non-stop flight from North America to Asia – with no layovers – is no joke, especially when you're looking at 14 hours or more in the air. Can't say I'm not prepared though; I always arm myself with tech, and my just-recently-completed trip to Taiwan was no exception.

Loaded up my trusty tech bag with all sorts of gadgets, including one of the best Android tablets, my work laptop, a mini PC, and even a Nintendo Switch – though I left the Switch at home this time. Instead, I decided to dive into mobile gaming with a twist, thanks to some nifty new gear I've been testing out.

One thing's for sure – those standard phone controllers just don't cut it when it comes to console-like gaming. Fortunately for me, I've stumbled upon a new mobile game controller that does the trick, all while being small enough to fit on your tray table.

After a grueling 16-hour flight there and another 14 hours back home, I can honestly say I've never had this much fun on an airplane. And I owe it all to Viture and a little gadget from 8BitDo.
