Editor’s take:<\/strong> A few years back we featured a device from researchers at Glasgow University that was inspired by Star Trek\u2019s famous Tricorder medical device. While neat in practice, the researchers\u2019 version didn\u2019t really resemble the prop used in Star Trek. The latest creation from YouTuber Mangy_Dog, on the other hand, is arguably more polished than any prop Hollywood ever created for use in the show. <\/p>\n

The YouTuber chronicled the build of his second-gen Tricorder in a three-part video series. Parts one and two were originally planned to be a single video but it ended up being 40 minutes long so he split them into two. The third segment is more of an unpolished bonus video where he goes into greater detail regarding the hardware engineering and software design of the project.<\/p>\n

The whole thing took more than two years to complete, resulting in a bit of burnout by the end. Fortunately, he stuck with it and as you can see, the results are absolutely incredible.<\/p>\n
