The Polaroid GL20 Camera Glasses are one of three new products developed for Polaroid Grey Label, an original line of consumer electronics products co-designed with Lady Gaga. The Camera Glasses display images captured from an integrated camera on small dual OLED displays that share the wearer’s perspective. A camera, dual OLEDs, memory, USB connectivity, and a rechargeable battery are integrated into a small, wearable and stylish design.
I worked in a three person team consisting of myself an electrical engineer and the director of mechanical engineering to develop the electronic and mechanical architecture for the Camera Glasses using off-the-shelf components, while maintaining the original design intent. Lady Gaga worked with Ammunition to create industrial design and a physical model. we completed the rapid prototyping and electromechanical integration of two fully functional prototypes in less than six weeks. I was responsible for creating an edditable 3D model in solidworks that housed all the electronic and mechanical components. Fitting allot of stuff into a tiny space was the name of the game.
