HEAD-UP DISPLAY Part 3: Outside
I saw a few examples of some Arduino and Raspberry Pi-based head-up displays that gave me an idea for the design I was working on. They attached to a regular piece of apparel, usually a hat or eyeglasses. I have several hats, and this design would allow me to use less 3D printing materials. The…
Cosplay Shield
Is it still cosplay if it is not based on a specific character? I was inspired by all of the cosplay I see when scrolling through IG. This is a build I did a while ago, but never put out. It has a lot of small pieces, due to the small 3D printer that I…
Magnetic Rubik’s Cube
This design was intended to eliminate the Rubik’s internal mechanism to have space for some electronics. The idea was to have each face light up with the correct color. The magnets helped hold the blocks together. I ended up scrapping the effort and filled in the core. The core is split for ease of printing.…
My Second Attempt at a Wearable Head-Up Display
Intro I saw a design that used a display perpendicular to the user’s forehead. With a mirror in front of the eye. Of course! Most wearable display designs I see use some configuration of magnification lens, mini projectors, or transparent displays. They do the job, but I thought the design I had seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3AW8cRPy4o…
WEARABLE1 UPDATE: 9/1/2021
The Main components of this update are: Touch Display Onboard Modules Stylus Apps Serial Peripheral Interface Touch Display I switched back to a PiTFT resistive touch display. This display is slightly different than the previous touch display I had used. This version of the PiTFT is an older version. This is the last display that…
Wearable1 Update: 7/7/2021
While I have consistently been working on this project since my last update, I haven’t felt any of the changes were worth writing about. However I really want to be more consistent with capturing the evolution of this. This version is by far the most comfortable to wear and the most useful. The overall design…
Neopixel Bracelet
I made these bracelets as gifts for some friends. Lately it has been a pattern for me to create a simple device as gifts instead of just buying something for someone. These are the third or fourth iteration of this design. I started off making use of some of the “NASA Fabric” models I found…
Wearable1 Update: 12/27/2020
I have not posted an update to this project since September. I was in my first semester of graduate school, but I also continued work on this platform. I see these updates partly as making all of my work real. This is because most of the things I have made that I don’t have anything…
Book Talk: The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
This talk is long over due. I have been wanting to put down some thoughts on this for a while. Henrietta Lacks and her family have one of the unbelievable lives that just makes me think of the power and impact of life, even in sorrow. This book was a quick read for me. Due…
