It is possible, that the whole grill was tailored, so that the general size doesn't have to fit 100%, as long the spacing and arrangement of the holes does.Īfter many hours/days of research on the internet, I nearly saw every transistor radio from 1960 to 1964 D but no luck finding this damn grid :\ The holes are arranged rectangular (maybe due to the corrugated surface).Īnd arranged in a straight pattern (not shifted) It is made of thin sheet metal and it seems to be bent on the edges. The grid is corrugated (horizontally or vertical and rotated by 90deg), not smooth. (Principal photography began December 29, 1965, in Stage H at Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England) The grid is from an audio device, which was produced before Dec. etc.īesides the measurements, I have following information: The grill probably belongs to a radio (maybe a transistor radio) or to another audio device such as a speaker, walkie talkie, cassette recorder. I tried to find the original audio device from where the grid was taken by following these criteria: Sold for £17,500/$27,615 (seems to be authentic enough for me D)ĭOWNLOAD (High-Res HAL Prototype-Picture)

So I decided to refer (only -> see Edit) on screenshots from the original movie (Blu-Ray)Įdit : During my research I came to the conclusion to refer also on the Prototype HALĮxcept of the panels height and the replaced speaker grid, all other dimensions including the worn out “HAL | 9000” label do fit the dimensions from the screen-used panel. There was also one panel shown in an exhibition but it also had differences (proportion, different lens (f=7,5mm), number of holes in the speaker grid). I saw the one from the auction some years ago but it clearly had different proportions.

Bosch said they are working on systems to identify whether somebody is using a synthetic voice.I'd like to present to you my own HAL 9000 panel project and research, based strictly on the panel shown in Kubrick’s 2001: Space Odyssey and on some facts and research from this forum (especially on the Nikkor lens. These most recent speech-to-speech systems are not likely to fool most people, but even Voicemod recognised that security is a concern. The rise of deepfake technology has some in the political and tech worlds concerned, though deepfakes still have a long way to go if they want to be more effective than good old fashioned online disinformation. The flip side of this technology is the potential for abuse. As much as companies like Meta want to let you recreate yourself in a virtual world, others would prefer to express their inner selves when creating online personas.ĬEO and co-founder Jaime Bosch wrote that the tech “enables a previously impossible level of customisation in audio expression online and in the metaverse.” In a statement to Gizmodo, Bosch said they want to support the full slate of trans, nonbinary, gender-fluid, and gender-queer users to “better empower them to build their own unique sonic identities.” Many of these companies, including Voicemod, refer to the nebulous “metaverse” when describing how this technology could be used to create personalised avatars. Other startups are also working on AI technology that facilitates the trans community online. It means the masculine “Bob” and feminine “Alice” voices are perhaps the most interesting, and potentially consequential for people trying to express their identities when appearing online.
