One of the design issues with existing [virtual reality headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computerbased-vr-headsets) on the market is that they are somewhat cumbersome and not very stylish, so the 'Mild' VR headset goggles aim to change this. The 'Mild' headset draws design inspiration from [eye masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeris-1-eye-massager) that are utilized in order to relax and soothe the wearer in order to make the technology less garish for those who might feel intimidated by it.

The 'Mild' VR headset goggles feature a soft, texturized finish that enables them to be a comfortable piece of equipment to wear on your face for extended periods without feeling fatigue. The conceptual 'Mild' headset is designed with a [simplistic controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimax-crystal-light) in order to make navigating a digital environment easy.

The 'Mild' headset is the design work of Heejin Youn.
