  • This video goes through what it took to make this self enclosed LED cube.
    Heres the sourcecode for the website / app that runs on my phone: github.com/mikecann/disco-cub...
    And here is the source for the code that runs on the cube: github.com/mikecann/disco-cub...
    Find out more about the project and me on my blog: mikecann.co.uk/

    Hey guys, it has come to attention that there are some people out there that are trying to sell fake LED cubes using my video above.
    Note I have not given authorization for this and I have nothing to do with their scam.
    If you are looking to build your own cube or get involved with a community effort Ross Harvey is working on a very interesting project for that here: forums.parallax.com/discussion/172696/p2-p2-cube/p1

      Yes, I dreamed about this some some time ago, only it was post-apocalyptic and they were just relics. Eventually someone puts bluetooth in there and it becomes a holographic gesture interface game, with some cubes quite large, smaller pixels though. Then the world collapses...

    Impressive. I too have the "LED cube" on my todo list, because I've always been fascinated with the flowing particle demos on those LED panels.
    I think it'd be a neat idea to render cupemaps of a scene in OpenGL and display them on the cubes faces. That way you could leverage accurate physics simulation to have the particles flow around the cubes faces (amongst other things).

      @@MichaelCannUk Well, I don't know about better, you've done a pretty good job already, but I'll eventually get my own LED cube done and try to improve on those that came before me.
      And yeah, writing texture mapping from scratch for a 3D surface can be a bit daunting - but that's also the first step in setting up compatibility with a 3D engine, which in turn will enable so many more cool things. Like adding a small camera that peeks out of one edge to display a realtime cubemap of the environment on the LED panels.
      Anyway, I've subscribed to you, in case you ever do decide to tinker some more and share the results.
