Perhaps lighted walkways or a strip on along the path from bedroom to bathroom

[crazycranners]

Ordered 4 of these panels... just waiting for them to clear UK customs! then I'm gonna make them into a coffee table :o)

Keep up the good work Oskay!

[rklingberg]

Just built two of these yesterday. Very easy to build, the instructions are excellent, and my kids love them. My only problem now? Figuring out how to afford 10 more for a wall-mounted unit! Kee

@rklingberg

LIke how easy? 16 hours with a soldering iron per piece or 4 or 5 hours? 

[rklingberg]

@mwtw58 75 minutes each to do two boards, and I'm no soldering wizard.

[averyjohnsonhc]

cool 

[eeedel]

I want to rig my entire apartment with these!!

[Bgimmy360]

imagine using this as an entire glass FLOOR

[theone1ever]

i totally can see this used in a music video or a concert

[cr00sum]

Interactive artwork!! Many, many options for 'improvements'/specialization.­..

First, the video only shows one-handed use - I assume (particularly with arrays) that two or more hands are feasible?

And how about moving the button off the board, onto a cable to allow seamless pattern changes? Can patterns in an array be changed part-way through, and have the new following the old? And when in an array, what happens to the functionality of ALL those buttons?

What about 3-colour LED's?

[oskay]

@cr00sum Yes, you can have as many hands on these things as you like. Inherently multi-touch.

Each panel is independent; its designed for you to pick a single pattern at installation time.



[photographe06]

@cr00sum 3 color LEDS need 3x the amount of pins and resistors - not something that trivial. You would then probably need to introduce charlieplexing or use a 74HC595 to drive these. Cost becomes quite an issue. Still a very good idea once the technical hurdles are overcome.

[bloopyblop]

tables? how about using these for energy efficient hallways? light goes on. light goes off. saves energy because people cant seem to be able to do it themselves. also it can make your house into a lightshow during those long ragers.

The mirror of the future. Able to display a reflection at 10x10^100p.

[TakeBackTheWorld]

oskay do you create all of these wonderful contraptions, or just endorse them?

[oskay]

@TakeBackTheWorld I designed this, and most of the other kits that we make. :)

[TakeBackTheWorld]

@oskay

My friend is going into Elec. engineering. You're like an idol to him.

[hemal67]

wtf would u do with that?

[XxKiprotichxX]

Red looks like Orange and Warm white looks like yellow

Maybe it's just like that in videos.

It would be cool too put this in flooring, maybe in a club

[oskay]

@XxKiprotichxX Yes, video distorts the colors. The camera can't "understand" the ultrabright red or blue, so when it's really, really bright, it looks white-ish and pale.  To get good color reproduction, you have to turn down the exposure so much that the rest of the room looks black. Look at the light reflected off of the hands-- that gives the best indication of the actual color. :)

[finnsia]

@oskay what's the music?

It kinda sounds like it was made through Fruity Loops

[SRB2suntyro]

This would be cool if those sensors pics motion if person is 10 meters away from em, so you can put those things in your long hall, and when you want in that hall, walls will shine, and do that blinking fade out effect.

[filippo333]

This would be awesome as a mat outside my house, under a reinforced plate of glass of course :D

[megahypersuperhero]

you should make a 2 men tall and wide wall out of these modules , stand infront of it and do some moves. Sure will look cool :P

[Impmon51]

Simply amazing ^.^

[Blober112]

I'd love to have a table out of this :)

With the frosted glass and blue LED's it would look fantastic!

[Aegrim]

In my dream nightclub, we'd have these under hardened glass on the floor.

[TheEmerald]

$35 per module? Yikes :S

[oskay]

@TheEmerald Our previous generation kits started at $85, weren't reprogrammable, and had only one sensor for every 20 LEDs. Now one sensor per LED, different response functions, and lower cost. I think we're making good progress ;)

[beriorgar]

you should make an entire wall of these things, and trip balls when you walk past it

[lordryan2012]

This would be very cool if combined with a glass table

[datsunz]

@lordryan2012 Check out the table I made using the older style panels.
