The Disney AR Star Wars Lightsaber Headset brings the galaxy far, far away to life like never before. Combining augmented reality technology with the iconic lightsaber experience, this innovative headset immerses users in lightsaber battles against virtual enemies. With precise motion tracking and realistic sound effects, fans can wield their own virtual lightsabers and engage in epic duels.
My work was on the prototype design to merge the AR technology into a works-like looks-like product, while staying as true to StarWars form as possible. The system worked by placing the user’s phone into a cradle within the headset to produce the imagery. Working with multiple phone variants, alignment with the lens technology, usability, and tolerance analysis were critical to making the system effective and convincing.
