Electronic Textiles: Loop.pH

Rachel Wingfield and Mattias Gmachi work together as Loop.pH, a design and research studio which investigates and creates new surfaces and structures. Their reactive surfaces are often inspired by natural forms and processes, expressed as both 2-D and 3-D forms using light, colour and electroluminescent technology. The pictures above show Digital Dawn, a light reactive window blind.

It shows four or five examples of LED Cubes with links to other pages.

The 3D LED Cube - Chris Lamont

The 3D LED Cube was a project started by Gene Foulk and Chris Lamont to create a large, animated, self contained visualization cube of LEDs, mostly for artistic purposes. Read More:

The Cubatron

The Cubatron was the world's largest true 3D color graphics display from 2004-2006 (now overtaken by the Big Round Cubatron). It is 8x8x8 feet in size. It consists of 729 voxels (3D pixels) arranged in a 9x9x9 matrix, spaced 10 inches apart from each other. Each voxel is a 40mm diameter ball that can be independently set to display a 21-bit RGB color. The entire display can be updated about 30 times per second. The voxels "float" in space so that the viewer can see through the cube and have a view of most of the voxels from any position. Read More:
