What do you get with 3000 LED’s, some Cell Phones and some Nerds?
A BIGASS UFO THAT’S CONTROLLED VIA SMS. Yup, we shouted, what are you going to do about it?
Anyway, we found this interesting little tidbit on Engadget today.. looks like someone has gone ahead and made a SMS controlled 3000 LED UFO looking spaceship. Well, it’s hanging via some wires, but we don’t need to talk about that. It’s freaking controlled with SMS’s.
Here’s the picture and article. Head over to Engadget for a video too.
Hey France, we’ve got one more for your sophisticated UFO archive. Dreamed up by artist Peter Coffin and crafted in conjunction with London-based Cinimod Studio, this 7-meter structure was built from aluminum and covered with 3,000 shockingly bright programmable LEDs. Furthermore, there’s an on board 6kW generator to provide power, and the overall UFO can be remotely controlled via SMS. There are even assertions that this thing flew along the coast of Sopot, Poland on July 4th (and even a video to “prove it,” posted after the jump), but we all know how dubious such proclamations can be.
