普象-让好设计发光

Culturally, masks have always represented a kind of immersion into other roles and characters. Today, Virtual Reality (VR) devices allow us to do the same with a much larger effect. Inspired by traditional festivals and masks, Ombre VR is both a VR device and a fashionable mask that generates different environments ba-sed on the accessory attached to the device. A lace accessory creates a sophisticated atmosphere while a chain accessory creates a strong and bold one. With these detachable accessories, a new atmosphere can be created in an instant.

The body of the Ombre VR device is built in a sleek form to reflect a sense of mystery inspired by a costume festival. Its overall curvy form allows the device to fit any narrative or concept. The headband is detachable and its size can be be adjusted by shifting the me-tal detail. Moving the me-tal detail to the left reveals a connector and power port; moving it to the right reveals a USB port and charging port.

Ombre VR is a result of studying the meaning of VR differently and it is a departure from existing VR products that only focus on functions. It gives meaning to the concept by connecting cultural symbolism of an object and virtual reality.
