As you guys are probably aware, I am a huge fan of the Avengers, specifically to Iron Man. I love the character from his wittiness, creativity as an engineer and his mission. For the month of the release of the Avengers Movie on digital and DVD, I created a LV electronic Iron Man helmet with the mashup of Louis Vuitton materials. The mask electronically opens with a tap, and the eye light up. Just like the movie helmet.
The helmet version used for this particular one is the Mark 46. Iron Man’s 46th version of the suit.
Checkout the video below on the motion of the helmet.
