Internal components
Designed around critical components of the HTC Vive Focus 3, such as antenna, cooling fan, and microphones, ensuring both mechanical and electrical compatibility between products.
SANDBOX VR
ACTIVE HEAD TRACKER
An active infrared-trackable VR headmount that utilises active markers for low-latency player head motion capture.
Moodboard
Futuristic – Cyberpunk – Sleek – Rugged – Durable
A rugged construction is designed to withstand high-impact experiences.
The combination of matte and glossy finishes, accented by illuminated coloured player LED strips, creates a high-tech and futuristic aesthetic.
Low latency streaming
Active IR tracking solution improves tracking accuracy and enables lower-latency motion capture for fast-paced VR experiences. It also delivers more reliable performance in large multiplayer arenas, with fewer tracking dropouts and less interference from ambient lighting.
Wireless solution
Upgraded from bucky tethered gaming PC backpacks to standalone wireless headsets, enables true free-roam movements and a more immersive gameplay experience, so as to minimise motion sickness for players.
Vive Focus 3
The Active Head Tracker is designed to integrate seamlessly with the HTC Vive Focus 3 without compromising its performance, comfort, or usability.
To deliver a reliable and smooth product lifecycle –
deployment > gear on > in-game experience > gear off > charging > cleaning > maintenance
for both users and operators.
Quick mount
Developed a spring- and hook-based attachment system for secure mounting, enabling a fast, tool-free installation onto the HTC Vive Focus 3.
Power supply
Powered directly by HTC Vive Focus 3, eliminating the need for a separate battery and external charging system, while minimising over product weight.
Audio cable routing
Implemented an audio connection system between the HTC Vive Focus 3 and headphone with efficient cable management, allowing all components to work as a set.
Silicone face shield
Designed to wrap around the magnetic face cushion, enabling easy removal for cleaning and improved hygiene.
Shortsighted lens
Custom prescription lens inserts for the headset, enhancing comfort and visual clarity for nearsighted users.
Quality testing
Worked closely with hardware engineers to design unique marker patterns for different players.
The parameters of active LEDs were extensively tested and optimized in real in-store environments, which significantly improved detection accuracy and tracking stability under varying lighting conditions.
CMF selection
Darkened IR-transmitting polycarbonate is selected for its high impact strength and heat resistance, while effectively concealing the internal components.
A glossy surface finish to minimise IR refraction, hence maximising transmission efficiency.
Easily Accessible UI
Allows quick control and instant status check for store staff
