Robotic Owl Costume Can Animate Music Group Shows [Video]

Seeing the image above makes it easy to remember the Nite Owl character from the famous HQ Watchmen. However, the creator of this robotic costume ensures that his inspiration was the aesthetics of the American Indians. And as strange as it may seem, designer Tim Laursen's purpose in creating this costume was to perform in this way at musical shows.

Laursen's owl suit also serves as a drum machine, enabling the artist not only to flamboyantly perform on stage, but also to produce music while doing so. The concept behind this invention is to make the costume enhance the musical skills of the wearer.
