This week, I worked on the CAD with Aidan and Pat and thought through several key design features. One of the main decisions was where to mount the beam splitter. Several locations could work, but the key requirement is that it shouldn’t cause discomfort for the user. Because of this, we’re considering 3D-printing the goggles with a design that either extends the lens farther from the user’s face or removes it entirely. This gives us more flexibility in prototyping and iterating based on user feedback.
Our progress remains on schedule. We’ll continue improving the CAD as our orders arrive and we begin mounting the Raspberry Pi, beam splitter, lens, and camera onto the goggles.
Next week, I plan to keep refining the CAD as we start integrating the hardware into the goggles.
