Company
HTCVIVE Cosmos is a high-end PC VR headset featuring a wide FOV and 6DoF supported by in-house inside-out tracking technology. I collaborated closely with engineering teams to design the controller-emitted light patterns for optical tracking, ensuring high tracking accuracy while integrating functional requirements into the overall industrial design.

New, Better Motion Controller
With this new tracking technology, external base stations are no longer required, allowing users to begin their VR experience quickly. The illuminated patterns on the controllers are not merely a gaming aesthetic; they serve as active optical markers that enable the headset’s cameras to track the controller's position and movement accurately during use.

My primary responsibility was designing the controller’s illuminated patterns as a functional component of the new tracking system. To ensure accurate optical tracking, I collaborated closely with in-house software and hardware teams to co-develop the tracking technology and define the form of the light patterns.
We began by developing and validating 2D pattern concepts with software engineers to define tracking requirements and identify factors affecting accuracy. Based on the validated 2D patterns, I translated and optimized the designs into 3D illuminated forms, adapting them to the controller’s curved geometry while maintaining tracking performance.
