The final frame prototype would need to encase all of the functional components of the device, and be a reasonably sized, lightweight, comfortable, and aesthetically futuristic. The finalized design presented to our sponsor incorporated all the electronics, optics and frame components that met the functional requirements. The blue light locking requirement and blue light emission requirements are met and perform as required. The design also the met the aesthetic requirement with its close resemblance to snowboarding goggles and designer glasses currently on the market.
