Basic concept, we hacked the Ball Headed QB in to the 21 inch sony IPS LCD.
But kept the weight distribution identical so the balancing would not be changed.
This evolved to vacuum formed ABS plastic. Super dent proof.
I had come up with an amazing fall protection system for the screen, that worked well, and no monitor screen were ever broken or damaged in this configuration.
Here is where it all went wrong. We were housed in a company that designs and manufactured Aluminum parts. After we perfected a wonder design, they decided to overrule me and go with Aluminum ,
something that could not survive one fall.
There was no reasoning.
By the end I was overruled by even more stupid decisions like not wanting the vertical video and using 2 small screens even though we could have done this split screen crap with one monitor.
Everything ended when they shipped it to Europe and it immediately fell over,
it was now 2x as heave in the head, and unable to survive a fall. Suddenly I am the one to blame?
