iPad + Macintosh Plus = Crazy Visualizer Helmet

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."

    Dude, you've posted that three times already in this thread. It's actually nothing at all like that except for briefly showing a face; if it's a cheap ripoff of anything it's Deadmau5 and Daft Punk. And actually the construction and performance aren't bad, except that it's totally impractical because you can't see out of it. If you're going to be a helmeted DJ, you have to be able to wear it the entire performance.
