Alright let's try this out! Jarvis initiate. Jarvis activate flight mode...
this would be useful for my upcoming flight project.
Al right now what if I told you that was real, there's no CGI?
Hey guys so you might remember I used to be working on a heads-up display for the
exoskeleton project, about a year ago actually! and we're focusing on the
helmet -- these are heads-up display goggles
and they actually sit inside of this helmet. Alright so we have all the camera feeds
working now and we're going to show you exactly what I'm seeing using the
cellphone camera so bear with me... Unfortunately it got put on the back
burner for a while as we're working on some other exciting projects but we're
happy announced we're actually bringing it and the exoskeleton back all because
we got inspired by the students down at Full Sail University working on a very
similar project in fact they actually invited me down to see the project and
give them some advice on it! So just last month I flew down to the sunny state of
Florida to see for myself
Alright so I'm here at Full Sail University, they invited me down to the sunny
state of Florida to do a little collaboration because a bunch of the
students are doing a, uhh, after class project that's right up my alley!
It's an Iron Man helmet complete with a heads up display!
Let's take a look!
So how are they going to make it work? Well they're using the hololens which is
a really cool piece of tech from Microsoft. It's a transparent display with
depth sensors and camera sensors that allow it to actually create a 3d model
of the world around you and to project a hologram in front of you as if it's in
the real world -- while not obscuring your vision. The next step is figuring out how to
integrate the microsoft hololens into an Iron Man helmet of which they're going
to be using 3d printing to build it.
We just got the the print and last time we had
problems dividing the parts up for printing and basically we had to plane
cut everything only the take back apart again so that it's in pieces that work mechanically...
They're actually making the project as
part of a media series the university is producing it's called HACKER LABS and
it's actually kind of like a miniseries documentary they had a huge TV crew and
the end result is going to be TV show quality and the coolest part
I was actually brought in as a special guest halfway through filming to lend a hand!
hey guys! Hi, hello, what's really going
what's going on whoa I have a surprise! What's the surprise? Have you guys ever
heard of the Hacksmith on YouTube? Yeah okay? Let's check out its trailer!
Hey how's it going? good good? So let's see this project you're working on!
Uhh... there's a lot!
from the model that we were using for prototyping it's a lot different so
there's a lot of like narrow curves I can't really mount anything there and
the brackets we have are alike now they're not going to sit right I
measured for that yes that's what I thought was in other places it is cursed
to every curve causes clearance issues the second week of the build now I
believe and the team's running into a few mechanical issues with the hinge
design first things first we have to fit that hololens inside of the helmet they
want the faceplate to be able to open for voice commands the third objective
for the fab team is to put everything together and get it functioning but
sensors on the hololens have to be able to pick up the world around you there's
so many different components and it all has to work together to make it a real
Iron Man helmet what is it what are you seeing
so the the Iron Man reticle which is showing the movie this looks like it
straight out of the movie that's a awesome basically looks at what you're
looking at and based on the depth perception actually scales it too so it
actually looks like it's tracking like on your face right now now if I look
back the wall is it zoomed up to over there!
Alright that's about all I can show in this video because it's their project not mine you're going
to have to go to the Full Sail University YouTube page to see the full
series but to get you guys excited here's the intro to the show!
Jarvis are you there? At your service sir...
to watch the full series and see the end result of the project you're going to
want to subscribe to The Full Sail University YouTube page you can watch
episode 1 right here and we have links in description below, plus you're not
going to want to miss out on my cameo! Go give them some feedback and leave
them comments your favorite episode!
whispers "the ones with me in them!"
Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for future updates!
