This Raspberry Pi volumetric display is a new spin on LED 3D animations

The Raspberry Pi powers the show, but the real star is the exquisite build and test process to achieve 600 RPM

Some serious engineering makes for a pretty compelling voxel display. Plus the whole build saga is on Mastodon! Go Fediverse!

That looks amazing! I’m Convinced this is the first step towards StarWars holograms.

here is a video from the creator’s Mastodon

I'd be down for something like this replacing the current RGB LED strip fad. It's got so much potential to be both useful and badass cool at the same time.

It’s really loud since it’s spinning a huge led panel at 600RPM

I see ways that this could be made quite. Vacuum seal the LED panel container, get a quiet motor and isolate it's vibrations, add a method of dumping the heat outside the vacuum. Not easy but possible.

One of the video clips has Doom Guy shooting at a Baron of Hell :)

Yea but I'm pretty sure it's just the models lol. But to me it sounds like a good excuse to put all those coding classes I took in highschool to use and make a renderer that'd support hardware like this...

That's really cool
