Rare Footage Of Daft Punk’s 1980s Helmet Found

Did I say 1980s? I meant 2011sies, sorry. I bet the sweaty Daft Punk guys are looking at DJ Kid Chameleon’s Macintosh Plus and iPad helmet in envy – especially if there’s a fan component squeezed in there.

You can see him spinning tracks while wearing his iPad helmet after the 45-second mark in the video below, where his helmet is hooked up to his A/V system so the custom graphics (and LEDs below) are in tune with his music.

I’ve no comment on his music-spinning abilities, however, because I watched the video with the sound off, having guessed it would “not be my cup of tea”. Anyone care to confirm whether that was the right idea? [AfterglowVP via Hack A Day via SlashGear]

    I have a feeling there’ll be a whole wave of Deadmau5 imitators now :)

    So some DJ completely ripped off Daft Punk’s look because he couldn’t come up with his own gimmick and chose to use an iMac for hopeful geek cred? What a tosser.
