⏪ Part 1:    • If This Wearable Fails, My Channel is...  
⏩ Part 2: 🤷‍♂️

My wearable heads-up display, the Optigon, is coming apart at the seams, but I found the perfect upgrade, the Epson Moverio BT-40. Problem: It shuts off when I disconnect a display, but this 'borg is all-monocular, baybee. Solution: TEN MONTHS of real-deal hardware hacking, complete with signal sniffing, replay attacks, and oodles of solder paste. Oodles! But my new wearable computer, the Voidstar Lab Optigon 2, is done! I'm sorry if I ruined the surprise, but it's more important to stuff this description full of keywords like Internet of Things, How to hack hardware, The best wearable computer, Google Glass, how to make your own wearable computer, and What is Zack Freedman wearing.
