The masks for paintball are helmets covering most of the face/head.
Place a sensor into it that would detect the set level of vibration; place loudspeakers pointing outwards on the sides of the mask; place a miniature microphone on the mask; place headphones on the mask; install a flashcard interface
in the mask.
All of this can be done and still keep the mask compact and lightweight.
You can use the mask in following ways:
1. Headset communication
2. Megaphone (judges, emergency, etc..), in this case a belt battery might be necessary.
3. Saved standard messages, possibly with voice activation option, playable on either friendly frequency or loudspeakers (For CS freaks: "You take the point!" ... "Affirmative!" ... "Get out of there, it's gonna blow!" ... Quakers: "Double Kill!" ... "MULTI KILL!" Or just for general public: <chopper attacking music from Apocalypse Now>, <Benny Hill music>, ...)
4. Save notes, scores, and directions for later replay
5. Vibration activated function - if vibration level = paintball hit, then play loud: "HEAD SHOT" in the menacing Quake voice, and/or play on friendly frequency: "Man down, man down".
All this should be personalized settings with maybe a fire wire interface to a computer or PAD.
I could not wait to play Jack Nicholson quote "you can't handle the truth", after shooting a particularly whiny opponent.

[+] If it comes in the form of a mask attached to a black, broadbrimmed hat, but in the meantime, [+] for "laudspeakers", although I suspect that was a typo. |

I thought this was going to be a device for
making a mask made out of porridge. see

|
| |
that's it, I'm correcting spelling errors & drawing my own mask & posting a link |

Stupid Quaker oatmeal, ruining it for everyone. When I was in Junior High School, someone asked me if there was some sort of oat fairy associated with my faith. I told her yes. |
|
| |
// to stop rimmed hat jokes// No
chance with that title. I think you would
have more luck doing that if you
combined the two images into one. |
|
| |
Competitors could maintain the theme
by firing blobs of porridge at each other
instead of paint, and learn advertising
slogans for Quaker Oats to shout at
each other in the heat of battle. |
|
| |
Giving you a + for illustrating your idea,
but taking it away for deleting links and
comments. |
|
| |
here i was thinking that it was some sort
of camouflage designed to make you look
like a quaker. don't shoot, i'm nonviolent!
however, there are already radio headsets
designed for wear under masks, good for
big games. |

Nup. No black hat there. [-]
Nice illustration, though. [+] |

Is a quaker someone who plays Quake? I thought the whole Headshot, Double-Kill, Multi-Kill etc was a UT thing. Also, that 'chopper attacking music' is normally referred to as Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie. |
|
| |
If you think that scene is cool, you are not allowed to say things like "Wagner". Tnx for the link, tho. |
|
| |
I am currently restoring an Akai M-7,
thr tape machine in the chopper that
was used to play Ride of the Valkyries. |
|
| |
I thought it was Flight of the Valkyrie. |
|
| |
// am currently restoring an Akai M-7// if
you fit a magazine and a gun barrel to that
will it become an Mkai 4-7 ? |
|
| |
Yes, Double, Multi, Mega, Ultra, Monster, Ludicrous Kill is UT not Quake. |
|
| |
Quake is "Excellent" for consecutive kills within two seconds or "Impressive" for two consecutive hits with the railgun. Both games now have a "Holy Shit" call (8 in a row in UT, nailing someone when they're -> <- this close to capturing your flag in Quake) |

Why is the quaker riding a horse?, [2 fries shy of a happy meal] ? |
|
| |
This is all a little confusing to me. Is Quake an online multi-user paintball game?
Is the mask an additional tool to be used in playing this game? |
|
| |
Quick explanation for confused: |
|
| |
Quake is a single/multiplayer PC FPS game, very popular. I chose the name because, well, they have a fun logo, and it sortof is not exactly what paintball is about. Tighter fit would be CounterStrike Mask, but too tight imo. |
|
| |
Beyond the name, mask has little to do with Quake. It is a protective garment, with installed sender/reciever for intercom with friendlies, has a flash ram card for storing of audio, loudspeakers for already described purposes, mic & headphones and finally a vibration sensor. You can put any audio on any functionality on the mask. With a little programming, I can put modifiable functionality on it as well, with optional programming interface and maybe aditional sensors: |
|
| |
*it is pitch black in a paintball corridor in the game facility, you and your palls sneaking forward. light sensor index goes below set value - mask yells* : "Who just touched my butt!?" |
|
| |
*you meet someone on the field, uncertain who you are, he asks* : who's this? |
|
| |
*you voice activate arnold1 reply* : I'm detective John Kimble. |
|
| |
*arnold2* : I am going to ask you a buch of questions.. and I want them answered IMMEDIATELY! |
|
| |
*the guy* : Who the fuck are you? |
|
| |
*arnold5* : I'M A COP, YOU IDIOT! |
|
| |
Alternatively, just go Steve Irvin on someone’s ass in the middle of the forest: |
|
| |
"Folks, we are slowly moving through the underbrush, in search of the great orangutan. And there he is.. a beauUUUUUtiful specimen, folks, look at that head, and those looooong strong arms - you can really see this one is the king on his turf.. He hasn't seen us yet, so we must be very careful not to arouse suspicion. They are very intelligent and might even use tools to defend their territory.." |
|
| |
Of course, mask would have to have basic surround-sound to keep the guy in total confusion and disarray. |
|
| |
Do you secretly wish you lived your whole life as a radio shock jock, with a sound engineer providing interesting noises to comically illustrate what is happening? Because I can respect that. |
|
| |
No, that's Pablo Francisco. |
|
| |
Why would quakers have any interest in paintball? |
|
| |
Every Quakers' dream is to try rocket-jump irl. |
