Polaroid GL20 Camera Glasses

portfolio website j.jpg

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.
