PADDee is Dueld's personal tricorder/PADD composite. Intensely frustrated by the excruciatingly-limited display space on earlier standard Fleet tricorders, Dueld has been working for some time to create a device with the same processing power and sensitivity as a regular tricorder, but enough room to see and analyze detail. | |||
1) Main display; touch sensitive | |||
2) Speakers | |||
3) Transmitter/receiver surfaces; these have a range of about 100km, or low orbit for many M class planets. When any of the sensor clips have been separated from the main device, these surfaces keep that clip in sync. | |||
4) The sensor nodes in this band alternate with holoprojection nodes (visual only), which can create a small holographic display/interaction area just above PADDee's main work area, if desired. | |||
5) The detachable sensor clips are similar to the tiny detachable cubes of some Starfleet medical tricorders, but more powerful because of their larger input/receptor areas. The three clips can be placed in a triangle around some object for more detailed scans. | |||
6) These recesses allow a user to grasp a sensor clip and detach it from PADDee, without compromising the scan surfaces. | |||
7) Seen under magnification, the coppery surfaces on PADDee resemble those of insects' compound eyes-- rows and rows of tiny sensor nodes. | |||
8) These transmitter bands on a clip are dedicated to high-bandwidth communication with PADDee itself, when the clip is detached. | |||
9) These inserts magnetically adhere to identical ones on PADDee itself, to hold attached clips in place. The bright green dots enable optical data transfer (instead of the wireless required when a clip is detached.) | |||
