Contact
During rest, direct pressure around the eyes can affect comfort.
DESIGN RESPONSE
Explore a recessed lining and zoned airbags to provide eye clearance.

01 / USER INSIGHTStart with
Start with
the wearing experience.
For rest after extended screen use, the proposal focuses on contact, operation without sight and nose fit. Each concern becomes a concrete design response.
Eyes-closed control
Controls need to be identifiable without looking at the device.
DESIGN RESPONSE
Use a recessed button for location and backlighting for status.
Nose fit
Nose contact, light gaps and strap tension must work together.
DESIGN RESPONSE
Coordinate the nose cut-out, soft lining and adjustable strap.
These needs are design hypotheses from the proposal.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENTFrom defining needs
From defining needs
to structure and process.
Four stages—defining needs, exploring concepts, refining the design, and planning structure and process—translate wearing, operation and folding into product design.
02 / ERGONOMICSCreate clearance.
Create clearance.
Then refine the fit.
A recessed lining and surrounding contact areas guide the relationship between the eyes, nose and strap. The diagrams explain the proposed geometry and contact logic.

Contact comparison
INTERACTIVE CONCEPTKeep the eye areas recessed and organise contact around them.
Illustrates contact intent; not measured pressure or safety validation.
A nose cut-out follows the face.
Coordinate the recessed lining, lower cut-out and soft edges, considering contact and light gaps across different faces.
Adjust tension and contact together.
An elastic strap and double-slot buckle allow length adjustment to balance stability and comfort.

Values come from the source proposal. Confirm actual clearance, contact pressure and light shielding through engineering drawings, fit trials and operating-airbag checks.
03 / PHYSICAL UXFind the control,
Find the control,
even with eyes closed.
A recessed contour provides a tactile landmark; concealed backlighting communicates the active state. Side controls preserve the continuous fabric front.

04 / CMF & FOLDINGSoft to touch.
Soft to touch.
Easy to carry.
Heather-grey textile gives the device a softer character. The contact lining and folding structure support wearing and carrying, following the source proposal’s material and hinge strategy.
MATERIAL INSPECTOR
Heather-grey cationic textile
A fine heather texture and restrained branding create a softer domestic character. Stain and splash resistance are proposed material goals pending confirmation.
From wearing to carrying.
The two halves fold around a central connection to reduce storage space. The proposal describes a 180° folding concept; actual travel depends on the mechanism.
Integrate details into the contour.
Coordinate the connection, port and soft lining so the form reads coherently when worn or folded.
05 / THERMAL INTERACTIONMake temperature settings
Make temperature settings
easy to understand.
The source proposal pairs a graphene heating layer with three settings. Choose a temperature to explore how visual feedback can communicate each state.

Simulation, not a thermal test. 38 / 40 / 42°C are proposal settings. Heating speed, uniformity and actual contact temperature require test evidence.
