Super-(Duper)-8 Video Cyberdeck
Turning an old Super 8 analogue film viewer into a desktop terminal for viewing videos on the internet, using a Raspberry Pi and an Ortholinear Mechanical Keyboard.
Before: Hanimex film E300 editor (circa 1970)
After: Boostbox 0.1
A small computer (running GNU/Linux) that uses a command line YouTube browser to make it capable of playing a billion or so videos. Sound via the built-in speaker or bluetooth.
There’s a video of the finished terminal running on the video below.
And because some nice people at r/retrofuturism asked for a clean photo of it to use as a wallpaper, here’s a downloadable clean version of the YouTube thumbnail.
