A phone as a game controller?

While thinking about the jollaDesk concept I came up with the idea to use the touchscreen of the phone as a dual pad game controller. A bit like the steam controller but with less ergonomy?

The jollaDesk would be a stationary computer, more or less. But most gaming computers and consoles are stationary too. So why not use the phone for gaming too?

Would it be hard to make an app to test the feasibility of the dual touch game pad idea?
