Thursday’s Nintendo Switch presentation revealed just how high-tech the new Joy Con controllers actually are, with features that surpass even those found in virtual reality wands. Essentially, the Joy Con contains enough buttons (and an individual joystick) to support traditional gaming but also has Wii-like tricks for motion and more.

The most intriguing surprise inside the Joy Con controller is a motion-depth infrared camera, which Nintendo’s designers insist can differentiate between distinct hand shapes. To illustrate this, Nintendo reps showed off the controller recognizing hand shapes for rock, paper, and scissors. The tracker will also be able to detect exactly how far an object is from the controller. Nintendo says these will be able to record full video “in the future.”
