Industry: Computer
Company Profile
A fast growing Silicon Valley-based enterprise data flash storage company
Business Challenge
Design a light pipe assembly and USB-powered LED module to illuminate the Company badge on the front of its product
Solution
VCC utilized advanced light modeling and human vision simulation to simulate and analyze the photometric and illumination properties of the proposed design. We then optimized for performance, efficiency, and appearance.
Due to limited power availability, VCC developed an LED module that took advantage of a nearby USB port for its power.

Industry: Movie Theaters
Company Profile
An innovative technology company specializing in transaction-based venue management systems
Business Challenge
Our client is committed to providing easy and intuitive ways to order directly from theater seats without distracting from the action taking place on the big screen.
Solution
Only a custom design solution would solve our client’s design issue, so our team ran light simulations to determine where light was being lost and what footprint would yield optimal performance while reducing hot spots and light pollution.
