Caprica VR "Holo-Band" Thread

[silverskyes402]

Can anyone get some screengrabs of the virtual glasses from Caprics, looking to see if they can be made but cant find many pics. Thanks

And if anybody can come with some found parts for this piece that would be great, getting stumped here!

Found item you reckon ?
Kinda looks like two in ear microphone headsets joined together to me.

This kinda thing but not this model obviously.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing, it looks like a very large bluetooth with the ear straps and ear plugs, the rest i'm guessing is just custom machined allum. pieces with LED's

With an old "Opti-grab" in the middle.... I thought those caused you to become cross-eyed! Wasn't there a class action lawsuit?

Yea, but that was back in the late 70's. I think the limitations has run out by now!

I think there just regular shaped plexi, easy enough to make, still trying to find the ear pieces, been looking at tons of wireless earphones, bluetooth ect. nothing!

I think it's a modified Plantronics MIX 330 Bluetooth Headset. Even the earhook looks correct.

Sweet Pics, thanks much, and thats a good choice for the headset, there also seems to be a smaller piece that the bluetooth fits into that connects to the allum rod. wonder if thats justa custom piece made for the headset

Now, if you could make one that actually took you to "The V Club"... :cool

Sorry it's not better but here's a grab of Lacey wearing the holo-band headset from "Rebirth". Notice that the nose bridge is a different shape from the other headsets. In the other shots it seems to be just wire wrapped around the frame a couple of times and going into one side of the bridge, but on this one it has a "collar" on the frame and goes to both sides of the nose, ending in a pad. The other bridges are clear too and this one is black. Maybe the other ones were more original models and this is one of the mass produced for sale models.

I believe that was from the Steve Martin movie "The Jerk." :lol

Great screengrab, I dident notice the difference on that holo band until you pointed it out, also Daniel's band from 1x02 sems to be different to, the ear pieces seem larger on one shot of the band.

I'm still looking for the correct Bluetooth or phone headset to make these, I can't come up with anything that has a regular earpiece then a smaller pieces on front of it, I'm thinking that the smaller pieces might be custom, made by the production so the silver bar can fit into it, any more help, any ideas?

The shape of the metal 'halo' reminds me of a pail handle.

 

[silverskyes402]

Yea, its gotta be chromed holo metal tubing, just bent around, so there's space for the wired that control the LED's shouldent be hard to get, and the eye pieces can easily be made by making a sculpt, then casting and drilling holes, the biggest part of it would be the led sequences, not alot of space in the unit, that and the blasted ear pieces!!!
