The best part of this is the fact that you have the ears positioned correctly...
I cant stand the "cat ears" headbands that people wear, because the anatomy is such fail!:/
I am exited to see the continuing develpment, and even more exited to see te final product!:D

Thanks. I am studying ear anatomy in both cartoons and animals in an attempt to make something that falls just short of the uncanny valley. I like to think that the "cat ear" headbands are more for the idea of ears, rather than for the ears themselves. It makes me hate people less.

good point... XD
I am glad you understand the uncanny valley! (+5 points!)
I think just short of that valley is a good place to aim for, i think it is preferable to just after the valley :P

so cool! I can't wait to see how it turns out.. and what the controller will look like.. will the wearer have control or will the suit need a handler?

That is something I have been trying to work out. It would be easier to work in a suit, as you could mount sensors to your face to trigger events. Or if you are in a suit with hooves instead of paws, just put the controller in the glove. However, for this current design, I aim to just integrate it into a hat, making it a lot more challenging. I am trying to work on a head gesture algorithm to interpret mood, that may or may not work, future tests will show that. It may require a small remote unit, maybe something the size of a watch, to control accurately.

I am trying to avoid having a handler have to control them, it would make for a better performance if the suiter did not have to rely on someone else. I do have designs for other, more complex components such as wings, which would require either a hand based control or a handler and could only really be integrated into a suit, but those are for later (dream big, work sensibly).
