Description
:
This work is a prototype of LED display for Text painting, inspired
by Jim Campbell. A painting canvas which has a rectangular shape
would be hung on the wall. This canvas is composed of one hundred
LEDs matrix and connected to the web page, which is programmed to
be accessible anywhere, anytime. Users use this web page to search
for any word they want to find (or to enter some texts). The user¡¯s
action will modify the image of LED shape in real time base. Each
LED on canvas corresponds to a character of the text. Through the
embedded microcontroller, the text input will control the brightness
of each LED and screen. Users can make their own paintings with
words. Each painting also interacts with other people¡¯s input.
Through the LED painting, we can see shapes shifting one by one,
according to the users¡¯ text input.
User Scenario
Users can make their own paintings with words. Each painting also
interacts with other people¡¯s input. Through the LED painting,
a user can see shapes shifting one by one, according to the his/
her text input. (Users can type the word which they want to find,
see the result through the LED display ).
