After a two-year hiatus, I've recently decided to return to this area of interest and resume work on my ACN Iris 3000 project. The ACN Iris 3000 is an outdated videophone device from the early 2010s, which presents an opportunity for myslef and others to apply existing knowledge and further develop skills in repurposing older technology.

As I continue with the project, my goal is to leverage my previous work and utilize proven methods to repurpose and enhance this older technology. The ACN Iris 3000, despite being outdated, offers many learning opportunities and makes for an interesting focus for device tinkering and repurposeing.

In order to effectively document my experiences and knowledge, I will allocate time to update and expand on some of my previous project logs. This process will include clarifying aspects of the device modification process to provide a more comprehensive understanding for myself and others who may be interested in following along. I also plan on documenting how to get DOOM running on the device in future project logs, showcasing the device's versatility.

My objective is to create a thorough record of my progress with this project and serve as a helpful resource for others that are interested. Through the documentation of my ACN Iris 3000 project, I aim to share useful information and insights with both experienced individuals and those new to device tinkering and repurposing.

Ultimately, I hope to contribute to the collective knowledge device repurposing. By carefully documenting my ACN Iris 3000 project, I aspire to provide a practical and informative resource that can assist others in the field as they embark on their own projects and explore new ways to creatively repurpose technology, even with outdated devices.

Welcome back! I've been following this project for a while and can't wait for a continuation with Doom running on the phone (sure I will try it on my spare Iris 3000)
