This is the Kinetic LED Display Wall developed by JYVisions of Shenzhen, China. In addition to all the programmable LEDs, each block can also move outward from the wall for extra visual effect. Hey — anything to get people’s attention. It’s nearly impossible to get people to look up from
This is a video demonstration of Italian artist Amedeo Capelli’s ‘Macabra Orchestra’, a little wooden skeleton orchestra with movements powered by a hand-crank and delivered via a series of wires, hooks, and string. Would I pay to see a live performance? Absolutely. My girlfriend was just complaining I could use
This is a video from informative Youtuber ReYOUniverso imagining if the history of life on earth were packed into a 24 hour period. If that were the case, the first fully formed cells come into existence at 4:30AM, and it takes all the way until 9:34PM for plants to emerge
Constructed by HackADay user mircemk using as many 3D printed parts as possible, this self-balancing cube uses an Arduino Nano microcontroller and MPU6050 gyroscope / accelerometer to control 3 motor-driven reaction wheels to keep itself balanced — even standing on one corner on a slope! Me? I can’t stand on
This is a video from artist Rudy Willingham, who carved and photographed 80 pumpkins so that they perform Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance when viewed as a stop motion video. That’s cool. Am I going to project this onto a bedsheet in my front yard as my only Halloween decoration this
This is a video of a 3D printing technology that involves using a needle to extrude silicone objects directly into a water-based gel, so there’s no need for additional support while printing. In the video, a silicone handbag is printed by design house coperni for a show at Disneyland Paris.
Because who hasn’t dreamed of piloting their own AT-AT walker through the side of a neighbor’s house, this is a video of engineer James Bruton constructing his own roughly 7-foot tall rideable AT-AT. It moves at a snail’s pace (even slower than in the movies), but I would still proudly
This is a video of Dutch kinetic artist Theo Jansen and four of his Strandbeests he lashed together to move along the beach as one giant beest, powered by the breeze. Just look at that thing go! Next stop: training it to wave a metal detector. Pirate treasure, here I
