Industrial Design of Inertial Motion Capture
Jia Haiqiang, CEO of Beijing Fuxin Technology Co., Ltd.
In a sense, at least for now, the inertial motion capture system is not a consumer-grade product, as you can see from the name. Just like a friend asked me before, what does your company do? I said it is an inertial motion capture system. The other party is very surprised, can you stop telling me in terms? I laughed out loud. In fact, this is also a helpless. Just like mobile phone, the name is a lingua franca, and when we say mobile phone, we still mean mobile phone. At present, I haven't figured out what kind of popular vocabulary to define the inertial motion capture system. Since it is not a consumer-grade product at present, it is an industrial-grade product. From the perspective of industrial design, you are wrong again. I didn't study industrial design, and that's why I wanted to break this distinction between consumer and industrial industrial design.
In my opinion, both consumer and industrial grades are used by people. Consumer grades and industrial grades are distinguished from industries. In terms of design, you are making a big mistake. When everyone sees our product, they say it's a consumer-grade product. In our opinion, firstly, the inertial motion capture system is used by people. The second point is that the place and environment of use are our normal environment, not a factory or a specific area. The third point is that we use inertial motion capture to do All of them are animation, film and television, games, sports analysis, VR interaction, etc. These industries are pan-entertainment and life-oriented. Based on the above points, we should define inertial motion capture as a consumer-grade product, at least from The industrial design perspective should be defined as such, not an industry standard level design.
The difficulty of industrial design is that there are only a few motion capture products on the market. When the designer did the design, he talked to me a lot. The most feared design is the design without reference. You do not know what problems exist in it, and you need to constantly modify the design manuscript over and over again. In the end, what I said to the designers is: since there is no reference, we should give full play to innovation, think wildly, and break through the existing design concepts. In the end that's what we did.
In the end what kind of design concept to adopt is also a problem.
I was born and raised in the countryside. When I was a child, the most indispensable thing was the starry sky at night. The only fun at night was to get to know the stars in the sky with a starry sky map. The biggest fun during the day is to run on the field road with the blue sky and white clouds and playmates. The blue sky, white clouds, starry sky, and fields are the scenery that impressed me the most, and these also fully inspired our design. "Starry sky", "blue sky", "round sky and place", we broke the routine and made full use of these concepts, and designed the motion capture sensor, charging socket, and router to be circular.
When it comes to wearing, we try our best to make it possible for one person to wear it freely without the need for a second person to operate it. We use all imported raw materials on the hook and loop, so that the number of times of sticking and pulling can reach thousands of times. We strictly test the elastic coefficient of the strap itself, and combine the length of each bone of the Asian body to determine the strap. length.
We did not use the existing USB cable in the market, but specified the standard of the cable according to the current size of the router, and then commissioned the factory to customize the USB cable specially for us.
For the outer packaging of the product, we choose hard cardboard to match the style of our products. The cost of each outer packaging is as high as several hundred yuan.
Industrial design lies in the pursuit of the ultimate. This is our first product, and we strive to do every detail to bring you the ultimate experience.
