Lemonade Goggles: A Wearable Eye-wear story.

Lemonade Goggles: A Wearable Eye-wear story.

This project just happened to be the biggest hit on my ego. Well this and the fact I could not complete a stupid trumpet.

So let us adventure through the great processes of prototyping and it's failures.


This was what my paper craft looked like when it was saved to illustrator, but because of that it is now, but it looks very aesthetically pleasing. I'll definitely remember building shapes can create interesting patterns in with rhino, shapes that would look good on posters and other applications.

Pepercraft is an amazing application, that I wish I would have utilized much better in this project.
If I had approached it before hand I could have noted the bridge was wide on my nose and that created a sight issue over my eyes. However this was not a huge oversight as I could still see through them, 





These, are what will be printed, I used the human head as a reference for making the goggles. 




This was a washer we printed using ninja flex, I immediately bought it after, because it has the potential for so many uses.




It hurt my face so much, I glued them upside down,  the weight should have been much lower, in this gif it is killing my face. As much as I like the steam punk look of the round glasses, a square viewer and tinier window all together may have put less pressure on my face. In the end this project did not work because I used a solenoid valve when I should have used a motor connected to a ball valve. This piece will one day be completed, for now it remains a prototype failure.

Sketches Updated Feb 26

Here is the beginning of my sketches I am hoping for much more, this is just an early stage. It is my humble opinion that the sketches represented in this work is too messy, and I wish I had put more time into working out the ideas. Check it out. While they are cool looking I have no clue what i am looking at. Since the sketches were meant to be attached to objects, next time thinking about the objects first and the subjects second would have been a much better less hasty and well designed approach, Here is an example of something I was working on while in the class for the dust cover of my record player. Now as something made specifically for the record player, as it has clock work being thought of, characters pushing gears. Numbers, sound, things associated with a record player. However, it only ever made it this far into completion. Yet here I have the real world dimensions of the object. Plus and an idea implemented on paper then composed on the co...

My 3D Object -Trumpet

Image
TRUMPET What is my reason for a trumpet? I really don't know. They are loud and obnoxious, possibly like me. Also if I could 3D print the parts that would be awesome to own a 3D printed trumpet. HERE IS A TRUMPET MADE OF WOOD. This has the same idea as how I will be constructing it in 3D. More detailed blueprints are to be added as needed. I will have more details to come for sure.

Phyllotactic Phanakistiscope

Click this while reading my blog to get my vibe. Making of a phyllotactic zoetrope using vinyl cuts. What is a phyllotactic spiral, that is a huge question that will fucking blow your mind. It is a concept that is found in all plants flowering mechanisms. As the cells grow they do it in the Fibonacci Sequence. One direction spirals right let's say 21/360 degrees and the inverse spiral lines up at 13/360 degrees. If you take any two neighboring numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence you will find this to be true. Now for a real mind blowing concept. remember to have the music goin' while you watch this video to have some magical vibes goin. If the strobe light is timed perfectly to every 137.5 degrees. Thats is when the plant or object looks like it grows or Benjamin Buttons back into itself. If I don't explain this well here is a video where I got all this information from. The nest step from here is to use the 21, 13 spiral to create a patterne...
