Revolutionary ideas need revolutionary materials.
The Challenge
A wearable spatial computer start-up and multi-year partner of Material ConneXion, was seeking unique materials that could be utilized in their revolutionary, Augmented Reality headset, power pack, and controller.
The desired materials need to not only fit the UX criteria sought by the design team, but meet the strict requirements set by the engineering team.
The Discovery
The materials for this engagement are selected with the understanding that they will be in contact with high heat-producing electronics and/or need to meet certain specifications so not to disrupt the sensitive calibrations required to experience the output of the technology. Materials from credit cards, sunglass innovation, automotive, and high performance photography equipment went into sourcing for this client.
