RSP Creates Wearable Active Fun for DigiBit
Client Overview
DigiBit’s Vision for Wearable Gaming
How It All Started
Colt Correa and his family conceived DigiBit when a pair of light‑up LED shoes failed shortly after purchase. Motivated to create a durable and engaging alternative, the Correa family—especially Colt with his strong engineering background—developed a concept for a wearable gaming system designed to keep kids active and bring physical movement into virtual gaming experiences. Needing a manufacturing partner capable of executing both electronics and enclosures for the product, the DigiBit team connected with RSP.
Why RSP as Manufacturing Partner?
Although Colt understood how the product’s printed circuit board (PCB) should function and the general aesthetic he wanted, he lacked the ability to manufacture the product on his own. RSP’s expertise in full turnkey contract manufacturing—including plastics, electronic assemblies, packaging, and product assembly—made it a strong fit for DigiBit. RSP was selected for its ability to translate inventors’ concepts into manufacturable solutions with comprehensive support across disciplines.
Collaborative Design and Manufacturing
DigiBit’s preliminary design assembly was brought to RSP, where engineers conducted a full design review and refined the CAD models to ensure manufacturability. Once the design was approved, RSP produced the full assembly including the PCB, plastic mold, springs, pins, instructions, and packaging. When early quality control testing revealed a clip that did not meet performance standards, RSP iterated on the tooling and tested alternate plastic formulations to enhance durability. Additional improvements included selecting mid‑mount connectors, creating a sleeker aesthetic, and updating the packaging design—enhancements that are typical of RSP’s iterative development process.
Product Functionality
DigiBit consists of two small clip‑on wearable units that gather motion data from the wearer’s movements. For example, in the “DigiBit Dash” game, wearing the devices on each shoe enables players to run down a virtual hallway, dodge obstacles, and control their avatar with physical leg movements. The PCB‑integrated sensor system captures linear acceleration data in multiple axes, enabling highly responsive gameplay.
Outcome and Next Steps
RSP’s collaborative approach and engineering support maximized the DigiBit design to align with the Correa family’s vision. RSP functioned as a single point of contact for design services, electronics, packaging, and more, enabling the product development cycle to progress efficiently from concept through prototyping. DigiBit continues refining its software and preparing for mass production, after which RSP will handle production components, assembly, packaging, and potentially order fulfillment and logistics
