This is sort of an adaptation of the
classic "I've got an arrow shot through
my bonce" headband, only you can use it
anywhere, and it's a pipe. Well, two
seperate pieces of pipe, each with a
screen in one end, and a camera in the
pipe wall on the opposite side. You then
stick the pipes
screen ends to your head/
hand/torso/cat, so the they appear to be
going through you/it. Switch them on,
and the screens will show whatever the
opposing camera is filming, and people
will gasp at the fact that you've got a
hole right through you. Of course, you
may need to make holes in your clothes
to hide the wires, and carry quite a large
battery in your pocket, and probably pay
quite a lot, but it would get a few good
shocks. Probably. I hope.
A fibre optic (USain 'fiber optic') solution

I like where you're coming from there. Presuming that you're not actually using fibre optics to appear as if that's where you're coming from, but really you're coming from Kansas. |

I like it. <sp> halloween |
|

//<sp> Halloween// Perhaps I was referring to a different annual event that you don't know about... I wasn't, but that doesn't mean I couldn't have been. Thanks for pointing that out, I shall correct it. |
|
| |
I was just thinking how a small fan behind the screen would add to the realism as a person moving in for a closer look feels the air coming through the pipe. |
|
| |
I'm thinking how quickly a person will run away when this torrent of red goo and juice spills from the pipe. |
|
| |
Line the inside of the pipe with images of intestines; pumping heart etc.
Another way could be to use prisms, much in same way as periscopes, but 4 of them , to divert the image around the body. |
|
| |
Wear it during an eclipse, so your friends can view the event safely. “Stop moving!” |
|
| |
Might well work. Which probably disqualifies it for this site, of course. |
|
| |
Of course it won't work. People looking through the hole from different angles would see different views (depending on how close you were to whatever the heck you're standing in front of. So, it won't work. Yet. Actually, having said that, directional screens have been developed so you could show, like, four or five different angles which wold only be visible to people coming from that angle. So it could work. But only with ludicrous investment in high-tech technology. Bun. |
|
| |
If the pipe is long enough, the sight lines will be severe enough that one view would suffice |
|
| |
So... recommended only for fat people, then? |
|
| |
Definitely a safety improvement over the old 'hammer a pipe through someone' gag. |
|

I'm just glad this has been doing well in my absence. And I'm never going to post an idea as stupid as the MFD Competition ever again. |
|
| |
Hmm, seems like this idea hasn't been
viewed or annotated in a long time.
That's a shame, seen as though it's my
idea and I want more buns. |
|
| |
It's on 2œ croissants [quaero], let it rest now. |
|
| |
Alright. I'll only annotate this if I actually have something to say about it. Or if I'm replying to an annotation. Like this. |
|
| |
Just had a thought; some sort of blood dripping tube that slowly trickled fake blood out of the end of the pipes would add to realism. Also, when not being used in scare tactics, could be used as a highly technical version of a periscope. |
|
| |
Just use a kalidescope. That would pretty much resemble what goes on inside my head. |
|
| |
[pa've] - no, it couldn't. the idea swiftly gets a [+] from me but i dot see how any technological improvement in lcd/plasma diplays would make the tube screen's brightness look natural nor can i imagine a bidimentional representation provided by any portable display we know could look real when viewed from all angles, and this makes it unbakeable |
|
| |
I never said that it would look real from all angles. I'd imagined that the "protruding" pipes would be long enough for there to only be a small amount of angles from which you could look at it. As for how bright the screens are, I admit we'd have to go a little over the top with the cost, especially since I'm considering comparing the screens to the one on my laptop, which is sufficiently bright. A chunky power supply would be needed though. And it would be costing well into quadruple figures. |
|
| |
would the pipes come in fashionable colors? I mean to match certain outfits. Or summer and winter. In winter you'd have to get that tape to keep pipes warm. |
|
| |
Well they could come in Stainless Steel... Or faux rust. Anything that looks genuinely pipelike. So pink wouldn't be too common. Of course, there would be a dripping blood pattern on whichever pipe was meant to have gone through you. |
|
| |
Isn't the title a question that gets asked constantly in Amsterdam? "Whore, or pipe, sir?" |
|
| |
Or did [bungston] already mention this by saying //Both, please//? I could not tell. |
|
| |
Cool idea. Seems like it would make an
interesting art installation. |
