Ball Stylus with Strap for Watson Institute

Originally, Connor was using was a double sided pen style stylus. Connor has tried many different stylus types but because of his low tone and lack of grip strength, his team suggested a ball shaped stylus. This stylus does not exist anywhere in the market and had to be designed multiple times. 

• The first design of the stylus was a 2" 3D printed plastic ball with a 1" rectangular hold in the center for velcro straps. 

  • Cotton balls, conductive wire, and conductive copper tape were then fitted to the first protype
