A booth for the largest trade show in the world – the Consumer Electronics Show 2017 – featuring several touch tables, smart mirrors, and a concept car.
I led the mechanical team at Stereolize Inc., who managed a booth for a client presenting at the event. I reviewed architectural drawings, provided engineering analyses, and made decisions on exhibit safety, cable routing, construction, heat, and fit tests.
I designed all of the glass surfaces included in the exhibit, as well as the vinyl applied to obscure the electronics beneath.
One touch table demonstrated the future of in-home collaboration. This exhibit used an 85 inch screen with touch film applied to the surface. Multiple users with tablets and mobile devices could write notes, play games, or share images from their devices to the screen.
I reverse-engineered a case for the tablet to hide the additional electrical components for signal transmission. I also created the mechanical mounts inside of the screen’s enclosure, and connected all of the audio-visual equipment prior to showtime.
A gesture-driven experience that took 3D gifs of the user in motion, allowing them to take home unique, free content from the show. I designed and installed the mechanical mountings for the OLED and transparent OLED screens, computers, components, a Microsoft Kinect, and touch screens, and helped to test the device.
The Fitness Mirror was a smart mirror exhibit that would connect a user with fitness videos, a personal trainer, nutrition guidance, and critique of their exercise form. I ran thermal and stress tests on the architectural drawings, designed and installed mounts, and assembled audio-visual equipment.
Two touch tables gave users who could not access the concept car a preview of the features inside. Sensors were mounted against the glass tabletop to mimic those enclosed in the centre console of the vehicle, including biometric sensors, an induction charger, an RFID reader, and a temperature sensor.
I designed the mechanical mountings inside of the table, supervised union labourers in the assembly of the device, and connected electronics in the final hours before CES 2017.
