Description
Venlo Sanitair asked for a new way of controlling temperature and the amount of water which is coming out of a faucet.  The concept which is designed is a ball placed in a flagstone or directly integrated in a faucet.
With one touch you can put the faucet on/off and made adjustments, just like a mouse or trackball of your computer. Going from left to right or right to left temperature can be controlled. Going from

 

up to down or visa versa the current of the water can be controlled. Feedback is given by changing colour of the ball, like temperature (blue to red) and water flow (dimmed to intense).
Prototype is made and tested successfully. The company, Venlo Sanitair, is checking the possibilities to produce the ball-controller.
