Hi all,

Has anyone seen this page before:

http://www.2001spacesuit.com/HAL.html

Pretty amazing work going on over there - wondered if any here new about this guy and his efforts. Got me wondering if anyone here has done a machined panel run before? Checked old posts and there was some talk of rapid prototyping a correct lens master to cast off - did this ever happen? Anyway love to see pics of anyone's machined panels as Hal is all about looking like it's real and crisp high end kit.

Cheers
 
First time seeing that page. I would love a HAL 9000 panel, with a working LED. Has anyone made one?

HAL’s red “eye” was a Cinerama 160 Fairchild-Curtis wide angle lens. The lens served as both a prop for the eye seen on film as well as the actual camera lens used for filming HAL’s point of view shots. Stanley Kubrick chose to use the Fairchild-Curtis lens after attending the 1964 World’s Fair and seeing To the Moon and Beyond, a film produced with the lens and projected onto a planetarium-like dome.

I'd have to put one on my desk, stick another (motion activated sensor) on the front door (with sound clips that I can remotely control from another location). On the car's dashboard, the garage door. I wouldn't want it to be cheesy, but really machined and looking good.

Searched & found...
