OVERVIEW
Designed and iterated a modular mobile enclosure to house and deploy a full VR classroom server stack, including UPS, PDU, networking hardware, and headset storage. The system integrates structural rigidity, thermal management, secure access control, and flat-pack manufacturability for scalable deployment in educational environments.
HighlightS
- Designed welded steel tube frame with water-jet aluminum panels
- Integrated solenoid-based locking system for secure access control
- Developed custom hinge and slide mechanism to improve door alignment across iterations
- Resolved tolerance stack-up and alignment issues through 3 redesign cycles
- Integrated full server stack (UPS, PDU, switches, compute hardware)
- Implemented active exhaust ventilation for thermal management in enclosed configuration
- Redesigned structure for flat-pack shipping and simplified assembly
