The case
Tweakings of the case are almost done.
According to my contact in Greece, they will most likely be produced next week (or shortly after), in different colors.
This will be the time when we can assemble more prototypes and make pictures of the colors, so we all can decide which one we'll take (black will be one, that's for sure).
I can't wait for those
So this may be too late. But have you thought of attachment points ?
I'm bad at 3d design or mechanical intuition but I have a
GTA04/Neo Frerunner and at the beginning I thought the hole was weird.
But it is very useful. You can just pass a riboon like those used for badges or id cards in a congress and attach it to clothing or bags
you carry, in case it falls off your hand.
Something like the pyra would be nice to carry hanging from your neck. you take it on your hands when needed, hang it on you chest when not and can still look at the screen now and then. Somebody might also want to strap it to a palm, back of hand, forearm, attach it to a bike handle bar, a cockpit, whatever.
Also a device with GPS and keyboard would be nice for openstreetmap editing on the go, or just navigation outdoors. If the screen is not readable on bright sunlight, people might want to make some cardboard shade and attach it to the lid. Or maybe a cloth like in ancient photo cameras that attaches to the lid and covers your head to shade the sun.
Somebody might want to attach some kind of camera or any device to the back of the lid or somewhere, and connect through usb but need some way to hold peripheral and pyra together, and could sew some peripheral bag and attach it to pyra (maybe in some kind of fishnet to keep airflow).
It looks like there would be few ways to pass a ribbon or cord around the device to stick something to it, so some holes, kensignton-lock attachment or similar, or fastener-like or button-like protuberances or even some fixed or removable short ribbon or cord straps could help. maybe both at the backs of keyboard and display. Or at the sides or corners ?
To me it looks like difficult to design to be compatible with space restrictions, not too invasive or ugly for users that not needed and strong enough that it is not a breakage risk, but most people here look more clever than me, so who knows what's possible ?
