ok, well, I had an idea recently concerning the spartan helmet. I have noticed that the visor has a very clay-like pattern, I know that several tricks exist to get that pattern, but the fact remains that I havn't seen a single helm with a full accurate pattern AND the ability to see. I've seen partial patterns, but always, a bit of visor is visible, meaning the field of view is reduced, but still there.
My idea is to make a full pattern, out of whatever materials, and put it on the helmet, you won't be able to see, but it will look accurate, plus, you will be able to make it as strong as you want because it won't be limited to materials that let you see. This is only step one.
Back in world war 2, the tanks had to have small slits to see, this made them slightly vulnerable, later, as technology advanced, tanks became fully armored and enclosed and used camaras to see. Modern tanks have moniters inside where the tank crew can see, with the camaras and equipment inside, with optical wires coming out from various places, they are so small that it's next to impossible to shoot them, let alone even see them.
My idea is this: What if you were to install two small camaras inside the helm, one for each side, and had an optical wire in the spot where you would normally install LED's, if they are as small as I think they are, you would still be able to keep the LED's in, just place the optic part in between them. Then, to create a 3d image, you install two small moniters inside the helmet, where your non-see through visor is (it would be on the back of it) each moniter would be lined up with each eye and would be attached to the camara for that side. This would create two independant images coming in from the camaras, one from each camara, and would therefore create a sort of 3d image. Not only that, but with a bit of tinkering, you could potentialy get each optical part to cover the entire field of vision that you would be able to get only by moving your eyes around (without actually moving your head) creating an even more fluid image.
Finally, this also makes it possible to use camaras which could potentially record and take pictures, meaning that by placing something like a small hand-held computer or ipod or something somewhere on the armor, you could wirelessly connect the camaras and this device to store any thing that you recorded.. This means that you could record and spy on people without them knowing, (who would honestly realise you were recording their actions if they didn't even know you had camaras built in) You could create first person movies, if playing paintball you could record everything you did, etc.
Is this possible? Comments, opinions?
