Hasta La Ideas

Dynamic Controls, a manufacturer of wheelchair control devices, worked with Australian ID firm 4design to bring their LiNX to market.

“Linx is the very first touchscreen wheelchair controller. A carefully considered approach to both the user interface and the product design meant that users ranging in dexterity can benefit from the superior speed, customisation and ease of use a touchscreen offers. The system combines advanced technology with modern design to deliver an enhanced user experience.”

“Collaboration was the key to this project. Working closely with the Dynamic Controls team, 4Design ensured every detail was carefully considered. The wheelchair controller features swipe and tap only operations, adjustable brightness, large touch zones and configurable left and right-handed operation.”
