This company offers a cut-to-size service for Perspex one-offs. They will even round off corners, drill holes and polish edges. All you would need to do is make two bends using a toaster as an improvised strip heater!

Hi Harry,
Do you not find having a camera rig makes the user interact in a different way i.e. Its heavier, users will hold it differently than they would naturally?

We currently use apple TV and stream/record the screen on another machine.

Interested in your thoughts

Stu

Thank you for this article, it has been a true inspiration for us to kick-start our first self-organised games usability sessions.

Here’s our take on the sled! We made some alterations – we attached the acrylic to a hard plastic device case.

Hope it’s helpful for some people as your article has been for us!

Great guide Harry, I remember a lab in Germany that had a sled designed and crafted in aluminium for mobile testing, it’s structurally similar to yours, the only difference being theirs cost a bomb!
Nice work…I’m passing this link around
