Abstract
An electronic device, method, and computer program product combine the mobility and flexibility of presenting a virtual gamepad on a touch display with tactile feedback associated with physical gamepad controllers. The electronic device connects to an external display. A controller of the electronic device executes a game application to present, via the external display, a game screen. The controller detects a first display cover configured to overlay a touch display of the electronic device and having raised contour(s). The controller identifies a virtual gamepad configuration having virtual control(s) associated with the game application. The controller presents the virtual gamepad configuration on the touch display. The raised contour of the display cover is positioned to provide tactile feedback to guide interaction with the virtual control(s). Identification and/or orientation of the virtual gamepad configuration is based at least in part on detecting the display cover.
