There was a giant mirror in one of my high schools hallways that I always thought was super cool as well. However,…

I’ve also been waiting on hearing back from the I&E department on their project funding. Due to this, I haven’t purchased any acrylic yet. Instead, I…

When comparing the LED cube and the mirror, I felt that the cube wouldn’t have enough of a resolution to create the liquid effect without using thousands of LEDs. For the mirror, I started to…
Casey Gosselin – Concept Proposals
Concept 1: LED Cube or Sculpture This idea was inspired by a project I saw on Adafruit’s website. It would entail making a 3D array of LEDs controlled by an Arduino board. The LEDs can then be controlled by the Arduinos digital outputs, making a dynamic sculpture. To put a twist on this, I was…
