zSpace, an innovator in AR/VR technology, partnered with Speck Design to develop the zSpace 200 Display. The project focused on creating an approachable, intuitive AR/VR system with a 24" HD display, motion tracking sensors, proprietary glasses, and a stylus, designed to blend seamlessly into educational environments.
The industrial design phase for the zSpace 200 Display was driven by the need to create a product that was both technologically advanced and user-friendly. We focused on developing a design that would not intimidate but instead invite users to interact and engage. The choice of a thin, high-end display was integral to blending the virtual with the real, making the technology more accessible. We designed the virtual “hologram arena” where the 3D images appear to float above the display, creating an immersive learning experience. The placement of sensors was strategically planned to enhance this effect, akin to stadium lights illuminating a field. Our design was not just about aesthetics; it was about creating an inviting, interactive learning environment.
The mechanical engineering of the zSpace 200 Display involved creating a structure that would support the advanced components of an AR/VR system. We focused on engineering a display that was not only durable but also ergonomic for educational settings. The integration of motion tracking sensors and the placement of the proprietary glasses with tracking beacons were key considerations. Our team worked meticulously to ensure that each component functioned seamlessly within the system, providing an uninterrupted and immersive learning experience. The mechanical design supported the overall goal of making AR/VR technology more approachable and beneficial in educational contexts.
