Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
Frank has generously included the collar in a video in the latest Robolust clips4sale update. As he says, the light doesn't turn out to be bright enough for the studio lights - as I had always suspected might be the case.
Oh, well. I stumbled into the idea. The exercise worked out well enough for me to proceed with Prop #3. Vibrator motors may be controlled by a remote programmer. I have a mind to use two motors in a device, rising and falling in speed together as pleasure dictates, but steadily operating at a 4-8 Hz frequency difference. If she can perceive the beat, she can entrain her brainwave frequencies towards those lower creative and relaxed levels.
Instead of imitating the approach of binaural sound beats, isochronic beats may be appropriate for a touch sensation. These are designed to rise and fall very sharply, in a way which causes the mind to perceive those low frequency beats.
Vibrating in conjunction, one motor can provide the isochronic rhythms, while the other motor speeds and slows in a pleasing choreography.
Components are being shipped, for me to tinker with and learn from. The biggest puzzle is what to embed the vibration motors into. What shape or object would be best? The surface contact with skin would need to be maintained, with straps or a device worn snugly.
That's for later. Next is tinkering, smashing cheap vibrator eggs open, Arduino programming, and daydreaming about how to bring pleasure to performers and their fans.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
So something reflective is needed, eh? What about a good'ol HD44780 driven display on your next collar? You can use the user-defined chars to display big letters, like in this pic
Clearly visible and if you choose a display without backlight but with a mirror instead - easily available - the studio light will actually help making it readable.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
What you say is true; but I decided that territory belongs to Girls Gone Hypnotized. For some time, they have used a streaming red LED name tag, but they may have abandoned it for paper.darkbutflashy wrote:So something reflective is needed, eh?

I want to leap ahead, give builders something to aspire to. Participation by fans, inspiration for producers. Custom electronics. New technologies like body scanning and 3D printing, for a well-fitted, remote-control, tactile experience suit. Electret materials - insane stuff, don't know what to do with it yet (but it's a cheap source of what-is-this-magic?).
I don't know what lies ahead, but I feel the name tag would be a step backwards - except for Westworld-park-like purposes. If there was an interest, we could design a resort badge with functionality - perhaps a microphone or speaker? or an accelerometer, so when she moves, a speaker makes servo whirring noises. Getting the non-tech right would be important, making a product that looks like something Disney would use. The Japanese might have a flashy model name tag to start from.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
I meant a functional tag, displaying a mood, control status, charging etc.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
This is how GGH used something similar - but stopped, in favor of paper.
From Perfect Wife 4269
Most likely, this tag wasn't update-able by remote. The characters took 5 by 4 pixels, and streamed by, streaking the eyes. Yours would not - but it looks small.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
HD44780 displays are available in a wide range of char sizes and formats. Just google HD44780 and shop for it. Most are ~$10 per single piece. I think a 4x20 chars display with ~75x25mm display area - but without backlight, of course - would be most appropiate for this.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
The green tone is very strong, and the color frequency of "green" screen tech can be adjusted.
Close-up, with a still shot, you could put any imagery in that [one inch by three inch] space.
The Arduino system is new to me, but I imagine one unit could drive the display and the vibrating motors.
I sawed apart a $5 silver egg vibrator. Such a simple device. The off-set weight on the motor axle could be replaced with a magnet or an electret (which holds a non-discharging electric charge, like a magnet but electric).
What sensations would be produced by spinning one of both of those materials near skin? I don't know, I'm in the market for as many "senses" as I can manipulate.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
If you use one with a mirror instead of a backlight - the only way it works in studio light - the color will be blueish on silver.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
How about e-ink or reflective LCDs? http://www.adafruit.com/category/150
e-ink wouldn't refresh as fast, but the contrast would be great. The reflective LCD would probably work even better... silver background, and the pixels show up like little mirrors.
A Raspberry pi could control these as well, giving you a wirelessly accessible computer, with low power draw yet plenty of resources. I'm tinkering around with a Banana Pro, kind of a super PI with dual core processor, 1gb of RAM, and built in wifi: http://www.amazon.com/Eleduino-Raspberr ... B00T2YIHGY
On the subject of senses, it should be possible to interface a peltier junction for cold/hot sensations.

Re: The Ideal Electronic Collar prop
How e-ink and the other methods will work in someone's studio is hard for me to anticipate. Lighting is the great error/weakness of my collars. If I were shooting, I'd try these displays - but for now I want to stick to sensations.NukuNookee wrote:How about e-ink or reflective LCDs? http://www.adafruit.com/category/150

I want all that power! but first I should master the simple vibrator programming kit w/Arduino which I have started.A Raspberry pi could control these as well, giving you a wirelessly accessible computer, with low power draw yet plenty of resources.
