Xbox Controller

Inspiration

Waterfront workers struggle with using tablets and other informative devices in the field while wearing protective gear. You want a physical solution to easily manipulate and navigate information without removing gear. So use a controller: an already existing, cheap solution that has been designed and perfected to be usable for general purposes.

What it does

Hook up a game controller for iPad/Android devices and map the buttons to functions you want. Use the analog stick for rotation (one stick for rotating the object, one for camera like a game).

How I built it

I didn't, but I'm submitting the idea in case you find it useful.

What's next for Xbox Controller
