OMBRE

OMBRE VR is a virtual reality device inspired by masks.


" What if there is a VR device that can display different moods? "

Being another : Mask

The mask is traditionally a symbol of immersion in other roles. Today, we wear virtual reality (VR) devices to enter a virtual reality world and experience the different roles more directly. We transform into another person and enjoy the "Festival" in the VR world. OMBRE VR is inspired by traditional festivals and masks.

Prototyping

A cardboard prototype was made to see if the designed VR device would harmonize with the outline of a head. To match the proportions of each part of the product, it was photographed while wearing a prototype from different angles, and the modeling was further modified.

Ombre

The OMBRE VR mask-like VR device features an iconic curve shape that hugs the line of the face. It is kept in the colors white and black, so that different accessories and match. On the left side of the OMBRE VR, a cable can be plugged in to connect to the PC, and there is a power button. Also, there is a speaker inside so the user can enjoy the sound even without headphones or headset. The size can be adjusted by sliding the metal piece on the back.

" When we enter the virtual world, we put on a mask and slip into other roles. "
