JAMES CLAR - Interactive Lighting Design and Retail Environments.
Another unique lighting display...this one actually takes an idea I had some years ago and brings it to life! 1000 LEDs in a three dimensional grid are controlled via computer to display various animations, graphs, and other eye-benders.
Unfortunately, I think his design (as evidenced by the previous versions) leaves something to be desired from a technical standpoint. A mess of cables is surely *not* the elegant solution to making this a really functional or ultimately expandable piece.
I envision a group of multiplexed microcontrollers addressing the array via a serial bus (CAN / SPI / I2C)....
