Final Project Idea
I am working with Andy to make a pair of networked LED panels that people can use to communicate. It will be a dedicated, always on, persistently online channel of communication between two people who own the panels. The interaction will be through touch, so you will touch each LED to change its state. I imagine the panel hanging on someone's wall, or on their bedside table.
The screen will be low resolution, primarily because of time constraints, but we will use full-color LEDs to give the users an different, more abstract means of expression. We were torn between making a higher resolution screen of single-colored LEDs (which would be on/off, or PWM to produce a grayscale image) or making a smaller (and lower res) screen of full-color LEDs, but we decided to go for the colors.
