Helmet Augmentation Zone is an aerospace engineering initiative focused on developing an augmented reality control panel system for astronauts.
My role involved collaborating with student engineers to design and prototype the astronaut helmet bubble. I led the experimentation process with various transparent materials and mold-making techniques to fabricate realistic mock-ups. Using vacuum forming, we produced clear helmet domes that integrated the AR display concept, allowing for iterative testing of visibility, fit, and functionality.
