Spotted At Supercon: Glowtape Wearable Display

.Our company allow enthusiasts of unusual timepieces here at Hackaday, so it really did not take long prior to someone phoned our interest to the gloriously luminous timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, and also it uses a thick range of UV LEDs and a long bit of glow-in-the-dark component to feature the time and also time, and also photos and long strands of text message drawn up flat to produce an unplanned banner. It appeared incredible in person, along with the invigorated areas on the tape beautiful brilliantly throughout the night festivities in the alley.The text as well as photos would certainly vanish fairly promptly, however in practice, that’s barely a trouble when you’re only attempting to examine the present opportunity. If there was actually one thing to restrict the usefulness on this set, it would certainly have to be actually the meter-long item of product that you’ve got to keep driving and pulling through the system– but it is actually a rate our experts agree to pay out.Want some of your very own?

[Henner] has actually discussed all of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the series. The LED collection on its own is really a spin-off of his Glowxels project, which deserves checking out if you ‘d like to create this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the very first time our team have actually seen this method utilized for this example, however it may be the best sleek model of the concept we have actually found so far.
