After unscrewing the screen’s hinges to remove it - and detaching its cables - it’s a self-contained unit “without any unsightly gaps.” “ThinkPads are pretty good for this kind of thing because they’re designed to be repairable,” Hamilton wrote. ![]() “Right now this really feels like a hacker’s device,” he said in an email (which he composed using his home-brewed cyberdeck). To create his own home-brewed cyberdeck, Hamilton bought a pair of the Nreal Air glasses, then hooked them up to a five-year-old ThinkPad laptop with a broken screen. In particular, there’s no battery, as the glasses are powered by the same USB-C cable which feeds the video from your device.” These are different because the glasses weigh very little (79 grams, or around three ounces), due to all the clever stuff happening on your phone or computer. “If you’ve used a VR headset then you’re probably expecting something similar - like strapping a phone to your face. UK-based Martin Hamilton made a cyberdeck with Nreal Air sunglasses powered by an old ThinkPad Hamilton says in an email interview that Nreal’s micro-OLED screens can give cyberpunk makers a full HD display “with a decent field of view.” But the glasses can also function as a head-mounted display, according to their website, transforming a laptop or monitor into what’s essentially a “cinema-sized 201-inch screen.”Īnd UK-based futurist Martin Hamilton calls new products like these “the real breakthrough” for finally jerry-rigging your own cyberdeck.

And it also looks like it’s a lot of fun… Sunglasses at Nightįor a head-mounted solution, some cutting-edge makers are now experimenting with the newly released Nreal Air (renamed Xreal) sunglasses, which come equipped with a small built-in (micro-OLED) screen. And like any home project, they also always seem to be learning an awful lot about technology. It’s the ultimate project for cyberpunk fans: cobbling together their own gear using repurposed leftovers and cheap surplus parts, plus all the right components from suppliers catering to makers.īut instead of cracking corporate data silos with a tricked-up Ono-Sendai “Cyberspace VII” (as William Gibson imagined), these enthusiasts are just sharing their creations on social media for bragging rights, and to celebrate their own maker successes. Please note: As with all wall and ceiling brackets, a timber stud or beam is essential for proper, safe mounting.But here in our own real-world future, enthusiastic hobbyists are now trying to make it all come true - or at least, jerry-rigging their own home-brewed “cyberdecks” for accessing the internet.
