Cool Proof of Concept – LED Pong Hat!
That’s right, it seems someone has actually made a LED Hat, capable of playing pong.
Pretty cool stuff. I found this over at lushprojects incase you were wondering…
This project is inspired by drunken chats during summer music festivals. A personal light-show to wear after dark. Overall more than 6 months from start to finish. No comment on whether this was time well spent.
Leah Buechley has done some great wearable electronics. Compared to her work I wanted to push the dot density up to do text and graphics as well as patterns. This meant using normal LED matrix displays which don’t integrate so well in fabric. My machine is industrial rather than pretty.
For the display I used 5×7 LED modules from HP. They were cheap on eBay!
