During these past few weeks of concept definition and exploration I have most definitely thought hard and long about the opportunity of what kinds of interactions and changes that augmented reality glasses can do. A lot of sketching and rough models were created during this phase in order to gain a greater understanding of the product (glasses) I am working with and the affordances that existing products have. Paper models of different frames and stems for the glasses. During initial exploration different concepts were sketched and made in order to help refine the form, size, interaction points and more. More research was done into the ergonomics of glasses and feedback was gained from peers in terms of size, form and weight. Rough 3D Print of glasses with removable stems.

The Final Phase
