Tracito-Rex-Tool to support handwriting and fine motor activities

Tracito-Rex-Tool to support handwriting and fine motor activities - open-source assistive technology prototype by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

To aid in simple activities such as writing and painting, as well as simple movements in steady activities. Our goal is to transform difficult or awkward tasks and make them seem approachable. Self-sufficiency is our priority.

Who it helps

people who have any motor deficiency

How it works

By limiting erratic movement, we achieve a more controlled and steady hand motion, allowing our user to better complete his tasks and activities.

Our solution consists of an aiding adaptable device. The instrument is composed by a frame that will adjust to a variety of surfaces. It will permit limited movement vertically and horizontally. Also a handle with an ergonomic approach.

Tools needed

Protective glasses

PC or MAC I7 +

Measurement tool

Pull saw

Hot glue gun

FDM Printer

Laser Cutter
