Delptronics
Delptronics has built a large 60×32 LED Matrix. We are certainly not the first people to think of using addressable LED strips to create a display, however, we want to do something more interactive than just a simple sign, slide show viewer, or low-res video wall. What Delptronics plans to do is to write a game engine specifically for the Matrix. Developers will be able to write apps and games targeting the Matrix using the Processing environment on their own computers without needing to have an actual LED Matrix. We also intend to use the experience gained through this project to produce circuit boards that will make it easier for other people to build their own Matrix.

Glow-in-the-Dark Pendulum Waves
This display of pendulums sings the music of the universe in patterns that resemble harmonic waves. In the time it takes the longest one to swing 50 times, the next one swings 51, then 52 and so on. The result is a changing array of patterns that are mesmerizing.
