A retro handheld video game console. Designed as Pro version of the existing device Evercade Device with updated performance, aesthetics and functionality.
Design By Datum, provided concept work, design development and production ready CAD working alongside Evercade and their manufacturing partners.
Blaze Entertainment requested a premium aesthetic which represented the new consoles superior technical performance.
The project began with 2D digital sketches, we presented a range of concepts coupled with a visual referencing package. The Evercade team pulled elements from two selected concepts for development into 3D CAD.
Design and Development
We built block models to get a sense of how the product feels in the hand. We utilised 3D printed prototypes to refine button and bumper layout.
Satisfied with our ergonomics and button layout we continued refining the details placing components and optimising design for manufacture.
