JawnV6 posted:firmware and electrical are good (didn't check for a drill file w/ the gerbers, but the altium source is better anyway), but mechanical is just step files ah, interesting. I think most of the interest from people was for hacking on firmware or transplanting the electrical, rather than copying the breathtaking comfort of the plastic headset. I'm curious about why we didn't release all the rest, though, I'll inquire. thanks!

A robot that follows you around so you can watch movies or skype anywhere at home is obviously trash - we already have ipads. The true application that a select few will pay thousands for is an anime holowaifu that lives projected on your walls.

I do appreciate they say you won't have to worry about charging or wires. . . it's almost like they don't know how much juice it takes to run a projector.

it's using inductive charging, which only makes sense with 1 use case hint this is not that use case

in reality you have a single I2C register on the DLP for "keystnoe_value" so all the sensors and smarts you could possibly want are going to be mashed down into 0-255
