The typical peripherals that are common across most devices are:

Peripherals

#peripheral#hardware

Research hardware requirementsDescribe the role of peripherals

DeviceComputer, console, tablet, phone

ViewingTelevision, monitor, touchscreen

ControllingStandard, sensors, specialist

AdditionalDisc drive, storage, audio, Internet

Page 6: LO1 - Lesson 8 - Hardware

There always needs to be a device with which peripherals can be connected to and which controls the overall system.

Device

#peripheral#hardware

Research hardware requirementsDescribe the role of peripherals

This device will typically be a desktop computer, a games console or even a portable device such as an iPad, tablet or mobile phone.

Each device will have a different technical specification: Memory Processor

Page 7: LO1 - Lesson 8 - Hardware

Each device requires some method of allowing a user to view the game that they are playing in real time.

Viewing

#peripheral#hardware

Research hardware requirementsDescribe the role of peripherals

Some devices may have a display already built into them: Tablet Mobile Phone

Other devices such as consoles and computers require the use of an external display such as: Monitor Television

Page 8: LO1 - Lesson 8 - Hardware

All games require a method of interaction between the game and user so a player is given a controller to allow this to happen.

Controlling

#peripheral#hardware

Research hardware requirementsDescribe the role of peripherals

A controller can take many different forms depending on the device: Controller Joystick Keyboard & Mouse Sensors

There are also some specialist game controllers that can be used to allow easier control of certain games.

Page 9: LO1 - Lesson 8 - Hardware

Most game playing devices will have some method of saving progress and therefore require a type of storage.

Many devices also now allow a user to connect to the Internet and may allow players to talk to each other by using a headset or microphone.

Standard peripherals which are often forgotten include: Disc Drive Speakers Headphones
