#NOTGLASS v2-Beta Modular Headset Frame

Not Stylish, Not Subtle, #NOTGLASS

 

Director Casey Neistat, SXSW 2014

The #NOTGLASS project began as an exploration of the Digital Divide, focused on Google Glass, during the 2013 SXSWi (South By Southwest Interactive) conference in Austin Texas, consisting of a cardboard box, Android phone, 3G Wifi Hotspot, and powered speakers. The conversations and experiences gathered while interacting with conference attendees inspired the idea that users should be able to easily expand wearable headset platforms.

Where the incredible Google Glass project drives tightly integrated, minimalist hardware design for delivering contextually filtered information to the user, #NOTGLASS aims to ultimately provide a modular platform for integrating hardware from a variety of sources, much like the early IBM compatible PC motherboard. A platform for head mounted, wearable computing experimentation will enable users to discover new ways to bring the world around them and the internet together.

The current incarnation of #NOTGLASS is 3D printed, made up of modular interlocking parts that align to rail-mounts. Hollow spaces run through each modular part to allow for cable routing. Applications are limited only by the imagination, anything from BCI (Brain Computer Interface) headsets, to 3D laser environment scanning, to 360-Degree video capture.
