A combined keyboard and mouse with custom U.I. to empower the people with one arm amputation.
Around 15% of the world's population suffers from a medical ailment that interferes with their way of life. The majority of these conditions are incurable. There are also certain items available for consumers to help them do their everyday tasks. However, there is little investigation in the product for activities beyond than everyday tasks (such as certain leisure activities), thus they feel left out. Evo bridges that gap and delivers it as empowering product for the user group.

Consoles
As prostheses become solely technical, more product design and assisting aid for most daily tasks will be accessible. Because there hasn't been much research into electronics for one-arm amputees, and the products that have been produced have been made in the past, new technology hasn't been utilized.
