On the conception and mechanical design of customized glasses for augmented reality
| Resumo: | Wearable devices such as smart glasses are one of the main challenges of augmented reality (AR) adoption in the consumer market. Despite the significant advances in recent years, the hardware available presents a bulky form factor and does not bring significant value to everyday life. LusoVU is focused on developing new AR smart glasses accessible to the general population with their HIDO technology. This dissertation combines the areas of product devel-opment and augmented reality for the development of a new prototype for LusoVU. The aim is to integrate the electrical and optical elements of the HIDO technology into a frame design that aligns with society’s standards of an acceptable everyday eyewear device, whilst consider-ing all the constraints and tradeoffs of the optical technology. The research hereafter presented followed the steps of a product development, namely: internal and external benchmarking, identification of client needs; product specifications; concept generation and selection; mod-elling and prototyping. It presents and describes the many iterations to achieve the final de-sign. The final design meets the product specifications and customer needs and will now be submitted in the coming months to the biometric analysis. |
