Description
The ShapeIt Strap Stylus is a pointer and stylus offering that you can
fully adapt to your personal needs. You can change its shape over and
over again until you have the perfect match and fit for your unique
situation. And it keeps its shape that you bring it in, until you change
it again. As such, it becomes a natural extension of the body.
Because you are unique
The
inspiration behind the ShapeIt product line is the fact that every
human body and motor skill is unique. From a product and designer
perspective, this would suggest a custom solution for every situation.
E.g. different shapes, dimensions, angles, etc. This challenged us - in
the context of gripping aids - to develop a small set of tools that you
can adapt to your own situation.
The innovation
The ShapeIt
Strap Stylus is part of a (r)evolutionary innovation: the ShapeIt Stylus
moldable editions. It’s a set of gripping aid shapes for touchscreen
use and typing, made from a sandwich material that you can adapt to your
personal needs. The first three shapes are Finger, Flex and Strap.
The works
Built
from a thin core of aluminum alloy and sandwiched between two layers of
closed-cell foam, the ShapeIt styli can be bent according to your
needs, becoming a natural body part extension. The ShapeIt items are
steady though incredibly lightweight (around 0.4 oz / 12gr), and offer
many variations to address almost any assistive gripping need.
