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.
