Students were tasked with designing a portable gaming device, inspired by Blizzard's iconic Widowmaker sniper rifle from Overwatch. The goal was to create a compact, user-friendly console that could play games on the go. Design Requirements: The handheld console should have a sleek design reminiscent of the Widowmaker rifle. It must be equipped with a high-resolution display and capable of playing games at 60 frames per second. A rechargeable battery providing at least 6 hours of gameplay was required. Students had to incorporate a comfortable controller that would allow for precise gaming. Design Process: The first step was to create detailed designs of the handheld console, focusing on aesthetics and functionality. Students researched various materials and technologies to ensure their designs were both visually appealing and feasible. Prototyping and Testing: Once the designs were finalized, students created prototypes using 3D printing or other methods. These prototypes were tested for durability, ergonomics, and overall user experience. Final Project: The winning design featured a sleek, compact console with a 7-inch display and a rechargeable battery providing up to 8 hours of gameplay. The controller was designed to fit comfortably in the user's hand, allowing for precise control during gaming sessions. Incorporating Widowmaker's Iconic Design: Students incorporated elements of the Widowmaker rifle into their designs, such as its sleek profile and distinctive scope. This attention to detail helped create a unique and recognizable design that fans of Overwatch would appreciate. The project was a success, with students demonstrating their creativity and technical skills in designing an innovative handheld console inspired by the Widowmaker sniper rifle.
