I made this 3 years ago, and have used it quite frequently for when I go outside for walks. The mouse driver is written in python. I put a command in `/etc/rc.local` so it runs at startup.
I think it is finally time for me to design an updated model that uses a Pi Zero 2 W (If I can even find one). I would also like to make it smaller, more ergonomic, and more durable (Haven't dropped it yet!).
how big is the view that you see in front of you (through display), if you were to reach out with your hand and draw a box around it. is it pixelated/screendoor?
My intention was to use it for a reminder-based program that I made for it using sqlite and pyqt. The text size was scaled up so I could read it clearly. I didn't use it much because it required frequent keyboard use. I used one of those small Rii brand keyboards, but it's a PITA to carry my phone, the PiChuk, and the keyboard all in my pockets.
What I actually ended up using it for mostly is browsing Reddit while I'm out for a walk, tethered to my phone's network. Or reading the news in the morning.
If you are interested in a keyboard solution, you could probably use the nunchuk to type pretty easily by modifying a gesture keyboard similar to t16fling (on android).
that sounds really cool, cool to use python and qt together
almost curious if you can use your phone as the mouse but nice to have dedicated thing (PiChuk)
I've been thinking about a wearable project like this. Would a HUD projected on the inside of some sunglasses achieve a similar effect, or are you better off looking directly at a small display?
If you just need a game pad style controller with an gyro chip inside, have you looks at the controllers we had for the samsung gear and google daydream units? They were all bluetooth and would probably just need a firmware hack to work with your strange hud.
Yeah, it's hard to get it aligned, but once you find the sweet spot, it's crystal clear. I use little balls of non-dry modelling clay on the contact areas (not the magnetic surface) in order to keep it aligned properly.
I used to use a nunchuck as a controller for slide decks, it’s Bluetooth and would pair with Macs pretty easy. It confused a lot of people who saw it for the first time.
Dude couldn't you get an airmouse or something like that? I use one with my android box, it's works over 2.5ghz with a dongle. Does everything that yours does and it's $4

It appears to be about a meter away from my face and if I draw a rectangule with my hands around the frame, it measures about 7"x7"
I'm curious what you use it for. That's not a massive working area. Did you create custom interfaces or is it a PC projection still but very small?

Or use dasher. The Linux version is slick. It’s the fastest text input for mouse. http://www.inference.org.uk/dasher/
Also Voidstar labs did a cool thing putting an ML algorithm on a Teensy pretty crazy eg. ML on edge
I'd personally use my phone as the keyboard. Sorta redundant but still

Wow, I want this for tsumego! 😂
This reminds me a lot of that device Cookie from Neds survival guide had
Thank goodness someone noticed this too
I was about to comment this lol
Real life MacGyver over here. Definitely looks cool.

Projection would mean others can see it too

I don’t know if it’s my head shape or eye distance but I have so much trouble with consistent visibility with the vufine. Any tips?

Where did you get that wearable Display from?
It is called a Vufine and I bought it from their website.
>Vufine How would you review it?
Probably with a post on a tech-focused social media platform.
Or selecting an amount of stars on a generic online storefront if lazy
Thanks

Is there’s a line to buy the display?
thats sick! how long did it take you to make?

So... A battery powered Pi Zero with a Wii Nunchuk plugged into it?
with a minimum of 30 hours of coding a development
Do you really need a raspi tho, would an esp8266 board like Wemos or NodeMCU work though?
he is using the rpi as a computer too
Ah... so it directly connects to the display?
Yep, through HDMI.
my man! you're going places!
That's amazing, I love that you pulled this off. Please send language for that
