Excellent contribution! At the moment we're concentrating more on the soft side of things, but hardware considerations will always come into play when designing the software =D thanks!

Have you looked into the possibility of using an IR laser? I'm still failing to see the attraction of having a tracking device (at least for this application, if you were to make a sniper auto-turret where you just have to paint the target with an invisible laser, that'd be awesome). As to...

What he said^^ For a second when I first read it I thought he meant the "w@nking torch " or inductance charged flashlight (some people call them w@nking torches in the UK because a torch is a flashlight and those ones look like you're jacking off when you charge them), but it's more like a...

Um, both of those. It sounds very interesting, the sort of thing we could use after the initial work is done on the interface I don't know anyone with that kind of experience, but keep posting things with that kind of quality content and you're sure to be noticed. Then you just have to ask...

^^ I like this guy :) I didn't think of the Wii-mote because I'm a 360 man, but I got to admit, that's a damn fine use of initiative :) Would you draw a diagram of what you mean though, I'm having a little trouble imagining it (I'm currently working on an interface's code, so I'd like to...

Yeah, it's great to get in there and do things, but 1) Those things don't appear to be available yet, and 2) It's going to take a while to get done, and figuring out how to code the thing, and integrate it into a working system. Plus, we don't actually know what the output on that thing's really...

The problem is proprietary gear. We don't have any way of telling what kind of chip is in there, how it interfaces, how we can add functionality to it... It's good for what it is, but it's not the sort of thing needed for this kind of project. It'd take months to crack one of those, and then...

Staples is selling 250gsm paper at about £7 for 250 sheets. Just thought I'd drop that in here :)

Adobe Premiere and After Effects are standard, to my knowledge.

There's a few problems with using an iPhone... Cost is a major one, and they're not that powerful. The applications are written in Java, which runs on a platform called the JRE, Java Runtime Environment. This adds a layer of complexity into the system which is detrimental to the running of the...

But hey, it's a suggestion, and all suggestions are good, because we can look at every possible addition to our builds. If only we could get some of that gel from the MJOLNIR suits... On a more serious note, how good/bad is mesh at dissipating heat? Like if you had a mesh layer under the...

I only design customs, not build them. I don't charge. But good point, I'll re-word it to reflect that, thanks. Liquid cooling is a very directed method. You'd need contact with the skin or some kind of heat sink inside the suit. This would add a load of weight to the suit, as would the...

In a word, cost. Although if we guys on the 405th pull this off, we may end up working for our respective militaries, seeing as we've already done the expensive R&D Aaron: Pessimism. Simply put, this is being done because it can be. @raziel1981: The solar panels would be on the surface...

Sounds really interesting, but I think it'd take a lot more processing power than we have available for this project. And it'd be the devil to code.

I'm looking into creating a GUI for you now, first I'm going to recreate it in Photoshop, then find a way of integrating it into a program. Just as an experiment, if you decide not to use it, I'll probably use it for something else. As to the programming language (whether you're interested...
