Since a photo is worth one thousand words, take a look at the following images to better understand which kind of results you can achieve with Pixelstick.īitbanger labs has already reached their 100,000 $ goal on Kickstarter, but if you wish to fund the project you still have time until December 13. While the long exposure goes on, you just have to move the stick in the wanted directions in order to create the image. What does it mean? It means that you can virtually light paint any shape or picture possible, you just have to convert it in a 198 px height file. Each LED corresponds to a single pixel in the image. Pixelstick’s brain, a small mounted box, reads images from an SD card and displays them, one line at a time. Pixelstick consists of 198 full color RGB LEDs inside a lightweight aluminum housing, made of two 3 ft long (91 cm) sections. It’s almost impossible to light paint complex shapes right now, due to the endemic limitations of the technique itself. Light painting is a photography technique where a photographer paints something with a light source during a long exposure photo. Each LED corresponds to a pixel in an image, it can be 1 to 198 pixels tall, but thousands wide. I was fascinated of the options when a friend of mine helped me to build the first Arduino-based RGB Pixelstick with 104 LEDs. Duncan Frazier and Steve McGuigan of Bitbanger Labs engineered it during the past months and came up with a working prototype that they are trying to mass-produce with the funds of this Kickstarter campaign. And their answer can be seen in these stunning abstract art works and animations The Pixelstick is made up of 198 full colour RGB LEDs inside a lightweight aluminium extrusion case. The pixelstick is a lightpaining tool for the creation of new analogue and digital art, a powerfull mixed-media-device which can be usefull for type-lovers and creative minds. The product we are talking about is called Pixelstick, a formidable tool for all the light painting lovers. We feel like we are in front of a small revolution with the tool we are going to talk about in this post, as nothing like that has never seen the light before. It can happen in every kind of niche, it happened in mobile phones industry, in computers industry, in automotive industry and probably in every kind of market ever existed. Every now and then a revolutionary product steps into the market and changes everything. The Pixelstick, an evolution in light painting, is the product of Bitbanger Labs, a New York City based company founded by friends Duncan Frazier and Steve McGuigan.
