[ARTS] Expendable's Little Blue Box

[Expendable]

And now I'm on a prop kick, redesigning my poor Omni.

Poor? What happened?

Poor? What happened?

Inspiration. So new project to replace it! Now with more greebles!

[Expendable]

Okay, I did some experimenting and came up with this corner piece:



I then made it into a panel, and expanded the various parts into this!



so new Omni

sweet that's the type of phone case that will break the floor before your screen cracks XD

The bumpers are there to soften the landing a bit and make it comfortable to hold, so there shouldn't be too much damage to the floor.

Survival Omni

  Spoiler:  

The Survival Omni is a small touchscreen tablet (209.5 mm x 133.4 mm x 25.4 mm) with an encrypted short-range transceiver that includes built-in oxygen and atmospheric pressure sensors.

Intended as an emergency guide / diary, it is internally ruggedized, using a synthetic diamond-chip architecture that makes the unit more resistant to radiation, heat and pressure. It has been environmentally sealed, so can be used in almost any conditions. An impact-resistant synthetic covers the edges of the tablet to help protect it and make it comfortable to hold, and includes attachment points for straps. The surface of both the touchscreen and rear solar panel is a sandwich consisting of polished aluminum oxynitride ceramic, glass, and polycarbonate with a nanotech coating that protects it from high power impacts, scratches, most chemicals and UV damage. It's several hundred times stronger than glass.

The tablet and its protective case is in International Orange for visibility.

The unit includes basic survival and medical manuals, as well as a video diary and camera to allow survivors to record their thoughts and observations about their environment. The unit can use its internal sensors for weather alerts and forcasting. It also contains a small radio beacon that will pulse a low-power signal as long as the unit remains charged.

Units under normal usage last 48 hours. A solar panel on the back of the unit allows it to be charged in any bright environment, or it can be placed on a charging pad.

Solar panel on the back is a brilliant idea

Thanks! It's kinda useless without power.

[Aeri]

True XD

Made a small mistake - I told GIMP to turn white into an alpha transparency channel - so the home button and the solar panel cells are actually transparent and what we're seeing is the background color of the forum coming through. I'll have to fix that.

I have been looking through your designs now and again, and while it's outside of my scope of knowledge ( I reject! Like Innoue would say in Bleach since my mind just isn't that advanced ), I do like the precision in which you design. Well done.
