Sony Patents Controller Design That Uses Connectable Blocks

Sony has patented a new design which is a controller that the user builds from blocks. These units can be built up in a variety of different designs to produce different controller designs. You could build a gun shape or a bat shape with multiple different types of blocks which will then be recorded by a camera and store the shape created.

Check out the actual patent below:

Here are some illustrations of the actual blocks forming different shapes:
