Showcase

Kenvox is an OEM contract manufacturer which has developed and currently produce over 200 unique projects annually. We have a signed NDA with 95% of our customers which prevents us from showcasing their products. The items shown here are very common and represent a simplified sampling of our capatabilities.

VR Game Device

Project Background

This product originated from a Shawnee State University professor who had an idea inspired by motion capture. In the beginning, our customer built several inertial sensors and sold them to various industries. Ex. : Robotics, Motion Capture, Positioning and Stabilization, Health Care Monitoring, etc.

 

With VR products booming, our customer discovered that there weren’t any ways to truly immerse users into virtual worlds using natural full-body interaction. Then he came up with the idea of putting his sensors and simulation products on key points of the human body. This captures users’ movements and translates them on-screen in real time.

 

Our customer set up a team to launch the project, but they lacked engineering support to make the project become a reality. They needed a reliable manufacturer with a strong engineering team to help them bring their design to life. This customer seeked Kenvox out at CES. They were able to see samples of similar products and found we had the capability to manufacture their product. This interested the customer enough to visit Kenvox in China to select a supplier.

 

The client came to visit Kenvox and 8 other factories in Shenzen, Dongguan and Zhejian, China. After careful comparison, they decided to go with Kenvox. Even though the price was not the lowest, they liked that Kenvox was able to offer suggestions on improving assembly and cost for their customers. Our detailed analysis, professionalism and advanced facilities impressed the client. We were able to help our customer finalize the mechanical design, build a test prototype and develop the product successfully.

Product Introduction

This gaming device uses high performance inertial sensors to provide 360 degrees of low latency, real-time motion tracking without the need for cameras or optics. The device allows for multiple simultaneous users. It works indoors and outdoors, in capture spaces of any size.
The suits include two hand-controllers with action buttons, triggers and joysticks. The joysticks let you navigate easily through large worlds without actually walking, while the triggers supports a familiar shooting experience.

Development Process

Kenvox was involved with this project’s development from the beginning when it was a rough idea. We are able to help our customers overcome designing/manufacturing issues with plastic, mechanical, fabric, and cable parts.

1.1 Problems Kenvox helped customer solve:

Figured out how to assemble the lighting bar on the top controller cover to provide the best lighting effect. Also figured out the easiest way to assemble the part with the lowest manufacturing cost.

1.2 Problems Kenvox helped customer solve:

Kenvox helped to simplify assembly, save on mold cost and improve productivity.

1.3 Problems Kenvox helped customer solve:

The customer updated the PCBA, which caused the plastic mechanical parts to affect the electronic components, creating assembly problems. Kenvox helped the customer work the modifications out and offered a solution to solve the new issues, without changing the appearance. Mold cost was not increased.

2. Helped refine/finalize the fabric design

The customer just had rough drawings of what they wanted, but Kenvox helped to design and make a high functioning prototype.

2.1 Helped refine/finalize the fabric design

The original cable jacket head had a very thin plastic wall. During production, the welding spot has a high probability of being broken when the cables are compressed into the mold. We were able to complete this difficult process and satisfy our customer’s requirements.
