LED Cube - off topic but interesting for moddies ...

Since it's the weekend ...

And your mod is done, and you're kicking back with a smooth vape thinking what to do tomorrow ...

A little technical fun with LEDS arranged in a cube, contolled via a USB interface.

YouTube - LED Cube 4x4x4

YouTube - RGB LED cube 8x8x8 (5)

Music controlled - lovely YouTube - LED Cube Plugin for Winamp 8x8x8

Skip the first 1:30; not great music though

More LEDs (video quality not the best, but you can see the possibilities) YouTube - 3D LED Cube (?????)

wow , me wants one..

Still imagine that on a much larger scale with RGB LED's and you got yourself full 3d moving images.

Star wars here we come !!!

Strangely I liked the 4 by 4 one the most. .....great stuff.

Yes, I see real potential in this for 3D tv.

There is some useful know-how stuff here : YouTube - Make a Pocket LED Cube

I've seen plenty of 2D led screens that look great from a distance. The ones i saw used 3 leds per pixel but an all in 1 could also be used. They are space about 1cm apart but because so bright you don't notice the gaps and the image looks bright even in daylight. A small led screen is thus about 640x1cm or 6.4meters wide!

Think I need one of those usb interface thingies, one can do all kinds of things then. Like my idea for an automated juice blender.

Pete : i remember you said you have lots of free-time these days ...
