Simon Ljungblahd, a talented designer comes up with a new idea for a virtual reality (VR) headset. The device combines two important functions: immersion and foldable design. The goal is to enable users to be productive in an office environment. Find out the details about this device below.
Virtual reality is a great tool for having fun. But for work, it can be a bit limited. Imagine a VR headset that lets you do your work while you stay connected to the real world. This is exactly what Simon Ljungblahd, a talented student at the Umeå Institute of Design, invented. With this technology, you can easily move from your virtual office to real life, making work more efficient than ever.
As you understood, this VR headset is special designed for professionals. To achieve its goal, the device considers both the digital environment and the real world.
An interesting feature of Simon Ljungblahd’s device is its ability to rotate the screen mounted in front of the eyes upwards when not in use. In addition, the headset has a screen on the front. This is used to indicate to those around the user whether he is available or whether he is currently concentrating on his work. This is really useful for letting others know if you are busy or might be interrupted.
Ljungblahd’s VR headset is awaiting completion
With the 360 degree view of the helmet Ljungblahd, it is possible to see in all directions, around you, as if you were in the center of a sphere. In addition, you perceive the distance between objects in the virtual environment. These functions are useful for interacting with multiple elements of the virtual environment at the same time, maintaining a realistic perception of depth and space.
Ljungblahd gave a deeper explanation of the concept of the desktop VR headset, emphasizing: ” Spatial Computing headsets are generally focused on entertainment, social interactions and simulations that optimize the user experience for these activities. However, there are currently no headphones specifically designed for meet productivity needs “.
Note that this concept designed by Ljungblahd is currently only an idea on paper. It remains to be seen if any company will make it happen, and if so, when that will happen.
