I don't plan to do much over this summer; so I wish to start on an intriguing project involving the recreation of a 'operational' CryNet Nanosuit. Aside from the challenge of creating the complicated weave of the fibers on said suit, I plan to add superfluous elements solely for aesthetic purposes.
Suit FibersThe fibers will be accomplished by taking braided sleeving as you see below and placing flexible foam inside.
These will be overlapped and placed together until the entire suit is made; and will likely be attached on top of a black suit.
Suit MetalThe titanium portions of the suit will likely be accomplished with light-weight metal, such as aluminum, or provided I can not create a flexible joint with such; I will have to settle with molded plastic or cardboard. The ultimate purpose is to remain full mobility.
BootsThe boots seem relatively simple to make, as boots exist with nearly identical designs as the Nanosuit.
HelmetThe helmet will be by far the most difficult to create. The helmet itself will be modeled after the Nanosuit as is the entire costume; however, it will feature a relatively small webcam-style camera at the top that delivers a constant feed to a Raspberry Pi unit mounted inside. This Raspberry Pi will overlay graphics powered by
Face API; and will allow for simple facial recognition of others. This will then output to a flexible, transparent, mono-color OLED screen inside of the aforementioned headgear. The entire system will be powered by a USB battery pack; as both can be powered through USB inputs.
I hope to finish this project by the end of my summer; if not without the additional elements in the helmet.
