  • for yourself until then
  • for participants and yourself after

Note :

  • list personal experiments, what worked, what didn't work
  • have at least one example of personnalisation (e.g. head size, phone size)
  • have at least one example of going further than current Google Cardboard (e.g. holding Arduino or Leap Motion)
  • add the Inkscape option for people who can't or do not want to install Sketchup with warning note saying that the concepts are the same but the tools and shortcuts are a bit different.
  • Do more : how to register in a fablab

Goal

Welcome in the VR Hardware workshop! You will learn how you can design and build a handset in a MakerSpace. The plan is to:

  • Learn Sketchup to design an elementary -but fonctional- custom handset for your phone dimensions.
  • Laser-cut and test it.
  • Search for inspiration and brainstorm with others fellows.
  • Design, cut and test again.
