Reflecta

Overview

Reflecta is a compact handheld AR smart mirror that uses a transparent display, depth sensing cameras, and AR overlays for virtual makeup try ons and skin analysis. The aim was to move beyond concept work and deliver a design ready for manufacture.

Concepts

Diagram and description of a handheld AR smart mirror. The image shows multiple views of the device being held in hands, along with details about its screen mirror technology, sensors, LEDs, buttons, and ergonomic design. A requirement and score table is included for different features.

Shows illustrations of a folding phone, a person holding a phone with the front cover open, and describes features like compact size, hinges, camera and sensors, and the fold mechanism. Includes a table with requirements and scores.

Design for Manufacture

The enclosure was modelled in CAD with injection moulding constraints built in from the start.

Snap fits and screw bosses for reliable, tool free assembly
Lip and groove joints for structural rigidity and clean external finishes
PCB mounts, sensor cut outs, and button placements with appropriate tolerances for easy manufacture and consistent assembly
Draft angles, parting lines, and uniform wall thickness to simplify tooling and reduce material use

User research

Focus groups informed decisions on ergonomics, usability, and aesthetics. Feedback on grip comfort, control placement, and portability guided iterative refinements so the final design met user needs as well as technical requirements.
