112: Fun and Functional

Yesterdays studio required us to bring along one item that was fun and one that we thought was more functional. i decided to bring along a PS3 controller as my fun object and a wireless mouse for my functional one. we presented these objects and then discussed them, talking about which parts of the object and the interaction we had with it we liked.

I chose my PS3 controller because of the fit that it has with the hand, heavily ergonomically designed to be comfortable with hours of use at one time. The analog sticks are covered in rubber so that thumbs wont slip off them when they happen to get a little sweaty. The palm grips are shaped to fit and the triggers are in the right spot for your fingers to pull them, managing to fit to the bends of your knuckles.
I chose my wireless mouse for the same reasons, it is ergonomically designed to fit the hand with the left and right mouse buttons being in the right spots for the tips of your fingers to click. The sides of the mouse are also covered in rubber so that you wont loose your grip and there is a thumb button that fits to be exactly under your thumb.
