Niantic Labs, the creators of Pokémon Go, reached out to our team to develop an mixed reality headset based on the principle of making it collapsible - like a pair of ski goggles. Additionally, this headset is meant to be worn outdoors, away from the computer - meaning the design needed to feel like an extension of your clothing so users felt comfortable wearing this in the public eye.
This design is based on real component weight and positioning, and I personally built 2 functional prototypes by hand that could be worn for user testing purposes.
