This is a prototype that just takes design cues from both versions of the Pip Boy and also some elements from the computer terminals in the games.
Hey, I'm a big fan of Fallout too! But PIP-Boys don't look anything like this!Trust me, I know. My ultimate goal is to build a fully functioning PIP-Boy 3000 from scratch, so this is my platform upon which I can build up to that level. This version is very much just a working prototype and a platform for future development. Being a major fan of the franchise, I decided I wanted to make my own version, but no mere prop, I wanted a functional device that I could really use.
So what exactly is a PIP-Boy, you ask? For those unfamiliar, a PIP-Boy is a device used by the protagonist in the popular Fallout series of video games for navigation, radiation detection, data storage/playback, and inventory management.
