I want to make a really big one over the summer. For now this is my final version. If you watch the whole video you can see how it will change both quickly as well as slowly.
Hi Jakob,
I notice how customizable your piece is with all the possible color patterns you could program. Did you drill a hole into each ping pong ball? Also how do you plan to attach it on a wall?
Hi! I notice the variety of colors the lights are able to produce. How do you plan on managing the cables and power supply once it is hung on the wall?
For your larger version my opinion/ suggestion would be to do a hexagon shape that is wider than it is tall so you could see the colors transition from one side to the other in a more direct manner as well as there is usually more room on walls in that orientation.
I would not do wireless power because long range wireless power doesn’t really exist. I am not actually planning on mounting this one but if I wanted to all I would have to do would be to stick a screw in the wall. For now it is just going to live in the RBE lab
Hi Jakob! I appreciate how you spent time creating a program that would bring your piece to life. For future versions, would you use any colored ping pong balls or other similar objects?
I LOVE THIS, yours really takes away from traditional lantern shape. could you please elaborate a bit more on how the idea came to you? also what materials did you use?

Hello, I used a soldering iron to melt a hole in each one. The piece can easily be hung with a screw on the wall.

I really like that idea. The cables have been managed, I combined the cables so now its just one USB Cable.
Hi Jacob! Looking at your lantern just makes me smile. Do you have any plans for finalization such as mounting or wireless power?

Hi Jakob! I appreciate the element of programming that you added to the project! This looks amazing!
