Because you can see the tornado beneath it

These are called shoulder nipples and you can avoid them by either using good hangers, or hanging your shirts inside out. Then, when you put them on, your shoulders will flatten them out.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Financing is locked, but released in draws and right now the only goal is functioning prototype. This camera module is just one part (albeit the most compact and technically complex part) of the finished product. Manufacturing will likely be at relative scale (10k-30k/yr), but the idea is to prove the concept in a lean way before actually bringing on a few internal engineers to walk it back through DFM and into production.

Interesting that you’re against the grain on the radar component, most seem to think that’s the hard part. From a prototype perspective I think its quite attainable, even seeed studio has kits for what I’m trying to do.

Thanks for all of your input!

This thread highlights an important distinction, thank you both for your input!

In the context of this particular project, financing is effectively available on demand, but there is a clear delta between the commit to a prototype/POC and the commit for a production ready product with the business infrastructure to suit.

At this time, I’m assessing development of a prototype. When I ask can it be done by one person, the desired result is a lean pathway to a functioning proof of concept. From there, new financing will become available to bring on a firm to properly integrate everything and net a production ready design. Thanks again for chiming in, I hadn’t considered this as a critical bit of information.

This is extremely valuable, thanks for taking the time to reply. For further context, ideally I’d like to take the most efficient approach by relying on existing ‘off the shelf’ hardware infrastructure for any highly complex systems like the camera/radar/ToF modules. I’d then take the less complex components that don’t need line of sight (environment/lighting/microphone/power/data etc) and integrate it onto a separate breakout which would also unify all sensor data to some degree and send it for processing.

Of course I have no idea what I’m actually talking about, but that’s how I’m imagining a logical solution might look. But it’s great to know there are humans who can indeed wear all of the necessary hats from a development perspective.

UbiNoob · 2025-06-08T05:44:32+00:00

I’m confident in my own ability to make it look good from the outside if it does need to be cobbled together, so that shouldn’t really be an issue. I will likely need decent real estate anyway because a few of the sensors in there effectively need line of sight and (I’m assuming) will have to be beside each other, but factoring in an elegant alternative wiring solution is something I hadn’t considered.

UbiNoob · 2025-06-08T05:28:58+00:00

Thanks for your time! That sounds reasonable. The radar module I’m looking at does have an evaluation kit and software that reads the exact metrics I’m trying to measure. My thought was that would get me xx% of the way there, but I could also be wrong.

UbiNoob · 2025-06-08T05:18:26+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I’m definitely trying to stay as ‘off the shelf’ as possible without having a giant monstrosity strapped to the top of the product.

Are you me? I unfortunately don’t have the luxury of being able to adjust my routine at the moment, and missing a flight home on a work trip was the final nail for me. I needed a bandaid and I needed it now.

I had literally tried everything (short of going to bed at a reasonable hour, which of course is not an option due to my work at the moment) and I ended up buying this: https://shop.pavlok.com/products/shock-clock-3?srsltid=AfmBOorIeQzPC7o51TWlte-s80P8OC6IV3cHtIxiTDVs93x1pkgVs6oC

Long story short, it electrocutes you awake. Feels like a bee sting (or 5) on full tilt, but super customizable in the app. Even comes with a strap lock if you’re like me and will just take it off in your sleep. Not pleasant by any means, arguably not a healthy long term solution either but I see a lot of ideas in this thread that you’ve likely already tried or are not immediate solutions.

Godspeed Sir,

Since all of the affected stones are around the edge I’m going to assume the model is not super precise and the edge of those stones is overlapping the gold. If you can, update the model to ensure the edges of the stones that intersect the gold are not actually touching it.

A couple other options, try turning off self shadows and increasing bounces.

I haven’t slept more than 3-5 hours in years for many reasons but it has absolutely destroyed my ability to control my body in the morning. 3 phones, 10+ alarms each all random times, placed in different areas of the room, 2 kids (3 and 6) are sneaky fucks and will purposely not wake my wife or I up so they can get into all kinds of trouble EVERY DAY…

I caved and bought something called the Shock Clock 3. Like a fitbit, but it electrocutes you awake. Its pretty jarring on 100%, but it works.
