Struktur
The Struktur design project explores the potential of DIY manufacturing of highly complex electronic devices via the conduit of the `digital handmade'. A catalyst for grassroots development, manufacturing and information sharing, Struktur engages the maker-gamer community. Struktur is a product-system design created to encourage design, making and customisation across a shared experience.
Struktur is a PC video game controller that is used in conjunction with a mouse and results in an unprecedented experience that combines the smooth movement of a joystick with the precision of a mouse. All schematics and files are free with the only request being that people share their projects, outcomes and improvements with the rest of the community.
Struktur aims to disrupt the conventional and create a new dialogue between user and product and explores future challenges and opportunities brought about via Industry 4.0.
