MouseMorphia
Repurposing old computer mice into assistive devices to seamlessly control modern computers in daily tasks and digital work.
The Story
Putting pen to paper.
Initial sketches of the adaptive mouse were drawn to thoroughly understand and plan its desired layout and functions. These early drawings laid the groundwork for the design and development process.
From paper to CAD.
Using Autodesk Fusion, the sketches were transformed into a fully parametric 3D model. This detailed digital model is designed for easy adjustment and will be used for the manufacturing process.
Lots of testing.
By iterating between the 3D model and physical 3D prints, I rapidly prototyped and manufactured both an adaptive mouse and an adaptive mouse button. The main mouse base features a custom mono-jack, allowing users to connect off-the-shelf adaptive devices with MouseMorphia.
Going a bit overboard.
After completing the MouseMorphia hardware, I designed a logo and developed a business idea that would enable users to buy kits and create their own MouseMorphia for a fifth of the price of other adaptive mice.
Award winning.
After submitting MouseMorphia to Autodesk Instructables, MouseMorphia Won the Judges Prize in the Autodesk First Time Author Competition.
