Here is a nice modification from Kaseo who’s been circuit bending Pikachu action figures into just about everything imaginable. This time the heart of the Pikachu is mounted in a pair of safety goggles with audio output, pitch, and trigger inputs. More awesome images are here. Definitely gives you that freaky cyborg look when playing live. The lenses also flip up so you can see what you’re doing. The external trigger box is also very nice, made from what appears to be a florescent light case, with chromatically positioned push buttons that control the pitch of the circuit and an oscillator to trigger the sound over and over. Nice work.
This sounds wonderful.
The goggles remind me of a tetsuo-esque getup.
Nice googles… too bad he cant’ see with those on (i guess).
Pretty F’n RAD!

WTF? I don’t really see where this mod is going. Creative, yes, but why!?
Creativity, entertainment, and making crazy sounds. That’s about it.
the master of the pikachu circuit does it again
excellent googles, but i don’t get the point of having that yellow cable hang down the center of it.. seems a little distracting/intheway? wicked light though
