Advanced Craft Keyboard With Creative Applications Support

About

Developex role was planning and developing an early concept for an advanced controller integrating with creative applications together with the Client team. The Proof of Concept started as a desirability PoC, then evolved into a technical evaluation, and ended up being a usability prototype. Our application architecture allowed for that evolution, and as a result concept was successfully developed as a starter point for advanced controller development. 

Developex team worked in close collaboration with Client Design, Product Management, and HW team to exchange constant feedback and R&D details, include changes in scope, and smoothly implement and test them. 

We developed software that provides deep and flexible integration of third-party applications and services. This desktop software allows users to use the physical input devices to work with various applications in a quick way. The solution integrates the hardware prototype with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Illustrator, Zoom, Spotify, and Streamlabs on macOS and Windows.
