The design of a new pair of augmented reality glasses which combine ultimate comfort with functionality and aesthetics

At: Recreate B.V. Rijssen

During this project the aim was to explore the design of a new Augmented Reality headset that provides a much better ergonomic position on the head, is affordable to make and aesthetically pleasing. During the project the focus was on making an ergonomic housing and less on the hardware configuration and software development. It was a challenging task, which  was accomplished and resulted in a really nice design with a lot of ergonomic improvements. The final design features a new way of balancing the components of the headset, by providing a battery unit on the back of the head. It also has legs that are a lot like those of normal glasses, resulting in a low wearing position. The swappable battery make battery life less of an issue and the removable visor allows for flexible indoor and outdoor usage.
