Title: 4 Player Control Panel (modified aircraft carrier)
Post by: waggles on March 26, 2017, 02:46:36 pm

1st Time Builder:

Attempting a 4 player control panel for family fun time on vacations and taco tuesdays. The control panel will live on top of coffee tables and be hung up in the bar when not in use.

I have access to a CNC machine so I am looking to address some of the human factors of the "aircraft carrier" design as I believe it is one of the more aesthetically pleasing designs with the most versatility.

• Design has flare outs for players 3 and 4 to increase spacing between players 1 & 2.
• Players 3 and 4 have been pushed up to the top of the control panel to allow more palm resting space.
• Players 1 and 2 have been moved up with the new tapered front to increase the distance between shoulders.
• Joy sticks will not be angled for players 3 and 4

Questions

• Is it necessary for additional admin/navigation buttons?

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information, source files, etc..., as I am looking for feedback.

So you're making the SS Jarrett bigger, huh?

At least you're putting some thought behind the ergonomics...
