Let There Be Flashing Lights and Music

January 30, 2006 12:32 PM

Interactive lighting design from James Clar. Play 3-D Pong with an LED cube, or turn the cube into an audio-synced 3-D screensaver (color upgrade here). Other favorites include the Audio interactive light meters and Square Eclipses 1 and 2k5. [Warning: Individual design links may include Flash movies, techno music]

Neat! I really like the Square Eclipses.

I don't think designers have come anywhere near close to realizing the full potential of full color LED's yet.

Those movies do a very bad job of illustrating what's going on.

As a lover of all things glowy, I think I just wet myself. Thanks!

[this is cool]

i am such a nerd for LEDs, i think i have only one incandescent flashlight left in my house. They should definitely commercialize this stuff, i would buy it.

As someone involved in promoting clubs, I can particularly see a use for the LED audio meter, but not for $3000 a pop or whatever he wants for it.

These will make excellent additions to the Sharper Image catalog.

This stuff is cool; I particularly like "square eclipse". The guy really needs to go to Burning Man, though.

The square eclipse will someday be my kids' nightlight. Replacing my aunt's old school fiber optic rainbow lamp.
