Opus eye wear workshop
2005.
Designs by Bertrand Clerc, Francois Gustin and Vincent Lepoultier.
A school course required students to gather in small groups and choose a topic to work on for a few months. Us three originally decided to enter an eye wear competition organized by Opus, an association of China based eye wear manufacturers.
As we started the project quickly transformed into a sort of workshop which widen its scope, enabling better playful concepts for the end.
As the result we decided to show six of our ideas and select a seventh one that would make the final concept to be developed and presented at the end of the course.

5th concept: Sonar
Today drugs are commonly used by nicht clubbers. They can dangerously harm the organism and usually leave mental footprints.
Sonar subsidizes the use of drugs with an enhanced visual virtual immersion.

Final concept:
Our final concept is a system aimed to night life entertainment that uses technology to provide a virtual wonder.
The system is to be set up in a night club or any place to host clubbing events. It is composed of heads up displays, green or blue screens, sensors, computer hardware and software.
The simulation happens through a visual layer generated by computer and applied between the users eyes and its environment.
Animated 3D graphics or any sort of 3D motion pictures stored into the computers get displayed onto the users head-up display glasses. This virtual layer overlays the real environment and the user perceives it as a real surrounding world where he can evolves and interact.
Design consultancy IDEO recently prototyped a similar immersion system which uses polarized glasses, projectors.
