Re: TI-H: Morse-eye
You obviously aren't entirely familiar with the concepts of
miniaturization. There are video glasses out there that basically look
like a normal pair of prescription glasses, and the displaypiece is damn
near undetectable. Wearable computers can fit into my pants pockets (if
I'm wearing slacks or widelegs). A quick and dirty "blink sensor" can
be rigged based on light detection. However, I hate the idea. Instead,
complete a circuit by tapping two of your fingers. you need very small
pieces of conductive material, and you can just tap your fingers. That
is a lot less noticable, and can become far more flexible. My best
advice would be to make up a serial driver for a Twiddler using an AVR,
and have that as the input device. Larger, but a lot more usable than
an epileptic control device.
Having designed, redesigned, and redesigned again, a portable computer,
I've finally moved to wearable design, using VGA output so I can
eventually get some good displayglasses and work on undetectable wearble
computer applications. If I get it small enough, it becomes a bit of an
aid for cheating, however. The power for the glasses can actually be
set up so small nowadays that a high speed wireless interface may
eventually be used. I'd really need a good incentive to avoid cheating
on the occasional test/playing quake in class.
Just a few comments, and I doubt all of us are really stereotypical
nerds here. In terms of what I do, I'm most likely, at worst, on the
fringe.
