Dynamic control surface

[0019] overview

[0020] One of the difficulties of working with development software is managing the number of controls available within the development environment. Another problem is performing and adjusting functions using conventional input devices, such as a mouse and keyboard or a stylus and pad. The input device may not be appropriate for the type of input and adjustments that need to be made.

[0021] Embodiments of the present application provide solutions to these problems through the use of dynamic control surfaces that include custom modular input consoles. One of the benefits of the present disclosure is to increase productivity and quality by providing users with intuitive controls that allow users to use dedicated hardware controls to provide multiple inputs for multiple functions. Another benefit is the provision of dedicated hardware controls configured to provide hardware inputs suitable for execution of functions within the content development application.
