Our team focused on key insights and solved critical pain points in enterprise training, leading to the development of a new headset concept centered on comfort, quick throughput, and swappable battery solutions. Some of these cradle features were then integrated into the VIVE Focus 3. By refining the cradle and introducing a swappable battery system with an external status indicator, we elevated user comfort and efficiency, transforming the enterprise training experience and pushing the product to new heights.

Battery Indicator

Battery status is visible from the rear of the cradle. Previously, battery status was only visible in VR, which was inconvenient for quick throughput process training.


Hot-Swappable Battery

Swappable batteries balance lightweight, user comfort and reduced downtime between training sessions. Battery access through a rear pad minimizes crevices for easy cleaning.


Quick Release

Remove the headset in seconds with the use of the quick-release button, eliminating the need to reverse-crank the dial to take it off.

I led research on enterprise training, developing core design strategies for AIO solutions. Collaborated with the Principal Researcher and CMF Lead, engaging with companies using VR for both low-risk and high-risk training scenarios. The study identified success factors, addressed pain points, and established design criteria to enhance training experiences through hardware, ecosystem, and material innovation. Additionally, innovative CMF proposals were created to shape future enterprise products.
