you know how theres a template for the cortana chip? well now once im done with my mark vi helmet and chip i thought id integrate the 2 together.

so we all know were the chip inserts into the helmet ( if not its on the back of the helmet along that wide piece ), now what if you made sum electronics so that when you insert the chip you get ie, music, lighting, whatever, maybe if it can be done you could even build a heads up display onto your visor?

so thats just an idea...
 
I had briefly thought of that for my build... Now after you brought it up, I may do something with an extra circuit after I finish.

Would it be easier to scratch build the chip rather than going through pep?
 
An effective HUD is military grade technology, but music and lights could work. I guess you could put like a wire lead in it to link between a power source and the main electronics.
 
actualy i have seen a pair of ski/snow boarding googles that has a HUD dont look exactly like a Spartan HUD and it would cost $500.00 ish but it has a wind and temp. gage and a bunch of other goodies if you really wanted to you could probibly work it into your desingn if yu really wanted the effect if you wanted i could try to finde it agen and i can post a link but its not cheep
 
you could wire all of your electronic gadgets to the cortana chip and like doctor napkin suggested... where the hold is in the cortana chip you could wire two 3 volt batteries and run all of your electronics off of it but only if you have correct resistance to each electronic that way the batteries can push all of them

I think I remember seeing somethin like that in a motorcycle visor. When I hear HUD, I usually thonkbof something like this. My physics teacher talks about those super complex HUDs and I always think of those. :p
I guess it's plausible OP.
 
How complicated of a HUD are you looking at? The old Nissan 240SX had a HUD on the windshield just for MPH but it worked pretty cool....it was a small reflective patch that was on the windshield and it showed the speed...if you are talking complicated HUD like on a fighter jet that would be awesome but extremely hard to build into a helmet
 
You could use the chip as a switch, when the chip is in everything hooked up to it works. When the chip is out nothing hooked up to it works. Then you can put your batteries some where else on your body. The only down side is you have to have 2 wires for everything you want hooked up to the chip running into your helmet. It would be a lot easier to limit it to things only in the helm, like lights, com system, and maybe fans. Have the rest of the lights for the suit as a separate circuit.

I had a link, but yes, like on a fighter jet.
 
If you really wanted to get crazy and see just what you could play with, the old monocle system in the apache might be a good template to use. It had a small projector that clipped to the bottom of the pilot's helmet and then projected an image of the data onto a small lens that was set in front of the eye.

I'm just shooting in the dark, but having a small projector to do that with would be pretty sharp, especially if you used it for real data, like battery life, fan rpms, internal temp, etc. Of course, that then elevates the suit from a sweet costume to a real investment. You might as well start using compressed kevlar composite for the body pieces.
 
u cud just put a small switch right next the slot for the chip and when u slide the chip in you can hit the switch and it will look like the chip activated everything. thats wut i wud do but im just a mere odst noob ;)
 
What you could do for a HUD is take your visor and take a "invisible ink" kind of material and print the HUD onto the visor with a stamp or something. Then for the chip and stuff just have it so that when you put the chip in it turns on a light behind the visor, kind of like the Sean Bradley, but its a black light. So when the black light turns on it shows the HUD on the visor, but when its off there isn't anything there.
 
Here is a better explanation. Another video is coming soon on an update...

I just though of something of a problem you are going to have. The helmet is only as thick as the paper and fiberglass or whatever its made of. How are you going to slide a 2-3in chip into the back of your helmet with out it hitting the back of your head?

Answer: within the helmet is space for padding a majority of the time. you can use the space wisely by only putting in half the padding and sealing the electronics to the helmet between the padding and inner walls. the amount of space is measured by the size of the helmet minus the size of your head.

long in short: there is space between where your head should be to the innner wall of the helmet.
 
so the chip is basicly just a replacment for a switch, insert the chip would do the following: activate lights, fans or music or if you will go that far, the HUD
 
In a manner of speaking, yes. To simplify Ithica's video down to its base concept:

Create an AI chip with metal pins to complete a powered circuit inside your helmet. A spring-loaded insert/release mechanism is optional.

I'd had this idea for a while myself, it's cool to see this actually working.

Ithica, I'm shooting you a PM regarding some other ideas for this.
