Think
It
!!!
When you break
the
hand you write
with, you
find
it difficult to write anything, it is almost impossible to do this with a cast with a cast!
You
need to write
for school, a job and even for your daily life. In school you need to write to take notes and to take exams. Slide3
Explore It!
There are some current existing devices, that can help you write something when you can do it with your hands:
Voice to text software: An
app for the mobile devices that writes what you
say, throughout a microphone.
Use of a foam ball to adapt a pen to your cast so you can write, the only problem is that it is very
uncomfortable.

Sketch It!
Instead
of holding a pen
with
2
or
3
fingers
,
the
idea
is
that
the
ink
comes
directly
through
a
glove
,
used
in
your
right
or
left
index
finger
, in
order
to
right
directly
on
the
paper
.Slide5
Create It!
We
created
a
working
prototype
by
using an used rubber glove and a disposable pen.The ink is inside the glove, (we used the ink and point of a ball pen)Slide6
Try It!
Some
of
the
suggestions
we
got
were:*It was difficult to write with a beautiful handwritting.*It wasn’t very confortable.*It wasn’t flexible.Slide7
Tweak It!
We
made
the
prototype
more confortable.
It
was tried with somebody using a cast.The velcro at the end of the elastic glove allows the user to adjust it to the
cast.Slide8
