Holoboy, pipboy projector!

Recommended Posts

I really really really hate how the pipboy looks, which is why I use the readius. I don't really like the readius too much though, so here comes option 3.

 

I'm looking to make a Holographic pipboy, projected from a small wristwatch. It'd be fairly easy too, it could use the same animation and everything. Really, all that would be needed is the interface, with maybe some rays of light. F1, F2, F3 navigation and bam.

 

At least it sounds simple to me, just no idea where to start. If anybody is interested in helping me, or taking this over completely then by all means do so.

i think they already made a Holographic pipboy for fallout 3.

Trust me its not simple. Its rarely ever simple.

 

Well, the pipboy has already been removed, made invisible, made transparent. So that part is taken care of. All we need to do then is put a watch on the wrist, and when tab is pressed the regular animation plays and all that shows is the pipboy menu without a pipboy. Alternatively, somebody can add rays of light projecting from the watch. Seems simple enough for me. I'm just hoping somebody can point me to some resources, give me some advice, answer my questions when I have them, and I might be able to do it myself.

Amusingly enough, the glitch with the Readius not showing up until the player's arm stops moving would be a benefit here; the projection would be invisible until your arm is up... I do like this idea, though, maybe it could be styled like the holographic computer interfaces in the Mass Effect series? Could even be Cerberus special issue. Alternately, maybe you could make it an earpiece with a tiny retractable projector that goes right over your eye when the pip-boy button is pressed like in the original Perfect Dark.
