Revamp idea

Now that the original suit is falling apart I have had to put it to sleep. Very sad.
However, by the time the suit got to the point of unuseablility I already had grand new plans for a new and better suit. As I stated before, that original suit was really just a prototype, a test. I was starting with some simple ideas that I could then generate more ideas for a bigger and better design.
I had a lot of ideas floating in my head and finally I made a simple sketch as to changes and additions I wanted to make. These included all the best ideas I could think of:
  • fish bowl helmet
  • video monitor on chest (OLED screen)
  • Video ray gun (gutted Super 8 camera with mini video projector)
  • Holster
  • Speakers on the helmet on either side (like ears)
  • Microphone with filter (old telephone sound)
  • Welding specs
  • Boots
  • Silver suit with L-wire down the sides
  • Apple II type text on front of helmet
Some of these ideas the technology is not quite ready and some things I thing the technology is probably too expensive. But still, a lot of fun ideas worth getting into...
