Jealous!!!! :thumbsup
On a different note, I've been slowly working on a way to make a functioning wrist computer. Luckily I have an old iPhone 5 lying around which sounds like it would be a perfect size for the wrist computer 3D model that someone kindly posted. But writing apps for iOS is a real pain. If I ever get something up and running I would be happy to share it and I know others will be using other phones so a more universal solution would be best. I'd also like it to be able to connect to sensors such as temp, pulse, etc and be able to control the helmet lighting and ventilation. Again, doing this in a universal way with an app is tricky.
So for a couple of weeks now I've been trying to work out how to make a universal solution. The current plan is to build the UI as a webpage. Most smart phones support HTML5, CSS3 and JS so it can be made to animate and look like a pretty good copy of what we see in the film. For those not interested in connecting it up to the suit or those who don't have the budget, I can throw the webpage up to the cloud and you can simply open it on your chosen device. I spent a few minutes yesterday building a basic webpage and theme to look like the wrist computer UI.

There is some basic animation which you can't see from the pic such as the full stops (periods) flashing and some text typing. I need to add some more of the graphics but its a start and these should be simple enough.
For those that want the connected version, I was thinking that the webpage could be hosted on a Raspberry Pi housed in the backpack. The Pi would be acting as a web server and a wireless access point so you can connect your chosen phone to it via wifi and open it in the browser like any other webpage. The Pi can then have the required sensors and relays attached to make the webpage functional. Considering the Pi is only £30 and the wifi adaptor, sensors and relays are really cheap, this should be doable for around £50. Now to find the time! :unsure
