Thus, we designed some specific visor mounts. The product we designed needed to be a visor with a specific angle, creating enough shade and preventing screen reflection, while the user could still conveniently use the touchscreen. We quickly identified this issue, and we decided we wanted to find solutions by designing our own product.Įxisting sun shades were not designed at all for this use, so we had to create a whole new concept.

Whereas tablets have proven to be extremely useful and versatile on boats, providing ergonomic access to many functions previously reserved to professional racers, many people were still reluctant to use them because of a perceived lack of visibility. When it comes to using tablets outside, the sun can often lead to readability issues.

Part 2: Your use of our laser cutting service For which project did you start using our laser cutting service? These are high-potential markets, where clients have a high level of expectations. We also work more and more with business customers who need specific robust accessories to deploy tablets in the field. Our main customers are boaters and people who practice outdoor sports who need high-performance devices to practice their activities. iTabNav was created at that time and iPads are now widely used on boats! ITabNav is still a small team, working with external partners and experts to provide the best products and services to our customers. I figured out this new device would make a great navigation tool, if we had the right accessories to make it water- and shockproof. When the first iPad was launched, I was already really passionate about sailing. My background is in marketing and innovation. More recently, we also started selling to businesses needing high-end protection for their tablets (airports, delivery, firefighters etc). We sell our products online, and also provide a lot of information to our customers about the use of tablets in boating and other outdoor activities. But since the extreme conditions of navigation can be found in other outdoor activities, we started to diversify our activities with tablet accessories for hiking, quad, winter sports, etc. ITabNav is a French company created 6 years ago, which mainly sells accessories dedicated to the use of tablets on boats, including waterproof and shock-proof cases, specific mounts, waterproof solar panels, and batteries etc.
