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 LIGHT PAINTING TOOL FULL#
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. 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. 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.
