After few weeks using Joytojoy and user testing, we consider several aspects to improve :
To fit user needs : Make it easy to use and customize
- Develop versatile program to switch from a stick function to a mouse without new upload
- Introduce wireless connection
- Implement multimodal accessibility features (visual/sound feed back)
- Check compatibility with different gaming hardware
- Easy 3d custom process to fit on the controller and adapt handle to user need (parametric design),
offer the possibility to change button place for right and left handled
- Study adding other user inputs (jack port to connect external switches...)
- Develop a configuration software
----> Carry out tests with a larger panel of users to increase feedback
To expand possibilities :
- Make use of the device possible in stand-alone mode, without using a dedicated accessibility interface
- Study other uses of the device (head, foot : joytomove)
- Consider other applications (VR control, home automation features...)
To maximise accessibility :
- Make it easy to reproduce :
PCB design, assembly instructions, experience assembly by others, get feedback on the fabrication process
- Make it affordable and sustainable:
Stream line microcontroller, allow the use of other microcontrollers to promote their reuse
Design Low-Tech enclosure process (wood, recycled containers...)
- Product development,
Study manufacturing process from prototyping to manufacturing (electronic board development, enclosure fabrication process)
Provision of DIY kits, final product
----> We’ve made choices to continue technical development and subject it to fabrication tests and user test with larger panels of makers an users.
