iPad + Macintosh Plus = Crazy Visualizer Helmet

Posted by timothy on from the visualize-helmet-laws-sucking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I would like to share with you a helmet I made out of a Macintosh Plus and an iPad. Essentially, I purchased a Macintosh Plus on ebay, removed the inner parts, cut a hole in the bottom of the case, inserted the inner padding of a bicycle helmet (cut to fit), and cut a slot for the iPad to slide in. The iPad's thinness allows for plenty of room for the user's head and the inner helmet keeps the Macintosh situated properly. What started as a project for my sculpture class has now become a part of my good friend Kid Chameleon's DJ set and a way for us to showcase our visuals in a new way during live performances."

    first of all, while i agree that this isnt really that impressive imo, you need to fuck off and die. This sort of duchbaggary and negativity should have no place here... It seems like instead of actually discussing the inventiveness of the guy / the good side of things all people want to do is post "THIS IS TEH LAMEZ, SHOOT THE IDIOT" and troll the comments anymore. While i dont actually like the concept, it is VERY inventive, and i hope to see more... useful things come out of it! With that said....

      HOW IN THE HELL DOES HE SEE OUT OF THAT THING?? (and yes, i did read... most... TFA [skimmed the rest])

    Irony: saying negativity is not welcome here with the words "you need to fuck off and die".

    Apple stopped caring about geeks when they introduced the Macintosh.
