5/7/2023 0 Comments I am a hal 9000 computer![]() ![]() In my previous build, I made four HAL units, somehow assuming that I could find somebody locally who would buy one - but I was wrong. In these builds, I will only focus on the surrounding area. ![]() That one will require some real programming to produce the images on the computer screen. That should be some rather straightforward wood work.Īfterwards, I will approach unit #3 from the pod bay room. Douglas Rain, the veteran Canadian stage actor who provided the soft and gentle voice of the rogue HAL 9000 computer for Stanley Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequel, has died. I am starting with unit #2 from the rotating hallway. These are the ones that I am planning to build. So, what remains are unit #2, with its white frame sitting in the rotating hallway, and unit #3 in the pod bay room with its single computer screen that displays the recognizable images from the movie. Unit #6 features only the face plate - and this is somehow what I already got from my previous build. With the 38 illuminated memory modules it would be an impressive prop - but again, it would be huge, and probably expensive to build (in particular the 38 mechanisms to move the modules). Personally, I find unit #7 in the memory room really tempting. Such a build would not only be rather expensive, but they would also occupy a huge amount of space. ![]() However, it would require eight computer screens plus (at least) four Raspberry Pi 4's to control them. Of course, #1 is the "classic" version that everybody remembers first.
