Futuristic AI Desktop Terminal Design
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Industrial Design for Premium AI Hardware Terminal ("Cube") — Aesthetics & Ergonomics
Project Overview
We are developing a premium, futuristic desktop AI Assistant terminal named "Cube". The device is designed for seamless, real-time voice and visual interaction with users.
We have a clear visual direction and a reference image for the form factor. We need a talented Industrial Designer to turn this concept into a precise exterior 3D surface model with ideal proportions, which will later be passed on to a mechanical engineer.
Scope of Work (Design Tasks)
The device architecture is strictly modular. The display must remain as clean and slim as possible, while all periphery elements are distributed between two separate blocks:
1. Terminal Exterior & Ergonomics
* Recreate the sleek, organic, and streamlined silhouette of the device based on the reference design. The style should be premium high-tech, utilizing a combination of matte high-quality materials and aluminum-look accents.
* Design the optimal tilt angle for the vertical 15.6" touchscreen display (Portrait Mode) and the shape of the supporting stand/base. The device must be perfectly stable and structurally balanced to prevent tipping during active touchscreen interactions.
2. Integration of the Top Sensor Module
* A separate rectangular block (the "vision" system of the assistant) will be mounted on the top edge of the screen, based on a provided layout schematic.
* The designer needs to beautifully integrate this module into the overall concept of the device and style its outer front faceplate.
* The front panel of the module must elegantly accommodate windows for the following sensors: two cameras (with a fixed stereo base of ~37mm), a central radar window (20x20mm), a thermal imager lens strictly in the center, and two combined side LED matrices.
3. Internal Volume Allocation in the Base (Hardware Envelope Guide)
The lower base/stand must provide sufficient internal volume to comfortably house the following hardware stack (you do not need to do the internal mechanical engineering, just ensure the exterior shell leaves enough room):
* The main computer board: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX assembled with its radiator and active cooling fan (absolute dimensions: 103mm × 90.5mm × 34.5mm). The board will be positioned at an angle inside the base.
* Two audio speakers (drivers) and a small audio amplifier PCB.
* A directional microphone.
Requirements for the Designer:
* A strong portfolio showcasing industrial design for consumer electronics, smart gadgets, or interactive desktop devices.
* Advanced proficiency in 3D modeling and rendering software (SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion 360, Rhino, KeyShot).
* An excellent eye for proportions and experience working with organic, smooth, and flowing forms.
Deliverables:
1. High-resolution, photo-realistic 3D renderings of the device from multiple angles (including 3/4 view, side view, and back view).
2. Approved exterior 3D surface model of the chassis in STEP / IGS formats.
3. A general dimension drawing specifying key external dimensions and the screen tilt angle.
