A secondary 3D navigator mouse with joystick and knob to make my Rhino and Photoshop work flow a little easy.

Functions
Joystick - controls left/right/up/down panning in both Rhino and Photoshop
Knob - controls 3D rotation in Rhino and brush size in Photoshop
Switch - a tiny ergonomically placed slide switch toggles between Rhino and Photoshop modes

Tools
Arduino MKRZERO

PROCESS
3d mouse 3d printing Arduino cad hardware industrial design interaction physical computing
I bought a tin container from the container store. After meticulously taking exact dimensions of the container I built it in Rhino and started designing my components around it. I also started out by making block diagrams of the hardware viz. Arduino MKR Zero, a rotary encoder and a 2-Axis joystick.
