Artist's Comments

Getting just the track you want on your iPod is sometimes fiddly at the best of times. Annie's got pretty good with her arms in the past few years, but the fine control you need to get just the right pressure on the scroll wheel is really hard...

And while having to concentrate to keep your balance too. :(

No wonder she looks a bit cross.

Sorry if this comment is a bit computer-geeky.

I've noticed in the past a lot of touch screens and laptop touch pads that use capacitive touch-sensing rather than pressure don't work if you use pens or metal items, since they rely on skin capacitance.

I've always wondered what a bilat. hook wearer would do in such instances.

I don't own an iPod so couldn't check, but the scroll wheel is made by the same Synaptics that did the touch pad on my laptop, and I just checked and it wouldn't work with metal.

Annie may be in even more trouble than she originally thought. Or may have the original model that had a wheel that really did go round.

I think the iPOD is pressure sensitive.

On the more obvious note though, her musical tastes are very good. :)
:iconhelenabox:
This conveys so much emotion than is usual with Poser graphics. Moving.

(And my iPod responds to a pen for on and off, and for jumping forward and back, but not for scrolling the wheel.)

Oops! I think you might be right! Never occurred to me when I had the original idea. :oops:

I think she could use the 'click' function but not the scroll. Making the thing pretty useless really. Unless she could get skin contact somehow - nose? But because her arms are off so high, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for her to raise the iPod up to her face, I think.

Damn! :pissedoff: Goes off to research mp3 players with non-capacitance touch-sensing!
:iconjerek-uk:
Oh yes. Although you should see her ';post-rock' playlist. :D
:iconjerek-uk:
Thank you! :) And that's what I've found too. Oh well. That's her iPod on Ebay then... :D
:iconjerek-uk:
Heh heh! And it genuinely was a spooky co-incidence too. The original renders for these were done a while ago!

But then, who *doesn't* like Emily Strange? Or would she hate people liking her...? :)
:icontegumai-b:
Like I said, the first generation iPod had a mechanical scroll wheel and buttons that she could use just fine.

She just had to go on eBay to get the right one ;)
