The prototype includes retractable lanyards attached to the VR controllers, a VR tracker on the back, as well as holsters for the controllers if the user decides to disengage them from the lanyards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560795194313-4F02G9OMFA289VXC0L5N/Bracket.jpg HP Labs Lanyard Holder These lanyard holders were designed to fit onto the front straps and to support a retractable lanyard and allow them to move up and down. A set of bearings between the casing made the motion smooth. They were 3D printed on an HP Multi Jet Fusion printer. The lanyards gave a tactile feel to the throttle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560795234977-NQPGUHM5KFKE8ZM6KE7Y/Back%2BBracket.jpg HP Labs Tracker Holder This part was designed to hold the VR tracker which both situates the user in the VR environment, and is used to determine forward or backward motion. It was designed to affix to the strap on the back of the harness and be smooth and lightweight so as to be unnoticeable by the user. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560795035524-G47LMJRHZO2ZB2MDGCTJ/Sleeve+Front.JPG HP Labs Controller Sleeve Bottom The bottom of the sleeve has a cutout to allow the controller strap to pass through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1561154329572-IN33XD4CRC87NSSYKXPF/IMG_20180316_101359.jpg HP Labs Testing out an early jetpack prototype. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560796369248-D3M5H8LJ3UWL5W4JZ8VF/image32.png HP Labs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560796930996-LZUXRJFPQ2Z62FWW2U9K/Hand+Holding+Selfie+Mirror.png HP Labs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd44101fb40800010a7fd9/1560811852513-H7U20LAUADOT3UEBCTQT/Exploded+Render+Retouch+Callouts.png HP Labs Exploded view rendering of one side of the inflatable chambers.

We noticed that the spacebar key was sloped a bit downward (above left: original). This prevented the thumb from striking the key surface properly, and thus degraded the performance of the Smart Bar. I designed a set of keys to test our hypothesis, and to see if we could improve performance. The key with the -8 degree slope (above middle: preferred) had both the best performance, and was also preferred by the users. We published our results in CHI Play ‘16: Mockler, J., Faggin, E.
