Overview
This device is intended for users that cannot use traditional stylus pens for a variety of reasons. Instead of a traditional pen style stylus, it ends in a large ball that requires much less strength and dexterity to grip. The device uses a length of wire and conductive foam to allow the user to interact with the capacitive touchscreen.
How To Use
To use the device, hold the ball with the foam stylus end facing away from the palm. For the device to work, the user must maintain skin contact with the wire along the side of the ball. The device can then be used as a traditional stylus with the foam touching the device screen.
Disability Type Description
This device is intended for anyone wanting to use a touch stylus but finds it difficult to pinch, or hold onto a traditional pen stylus.
