    Hey guys, it has come to attention that there are some people out there that are trying to sell fake LED cubes using my video above.
    Note I have not given authorization for this and I have nothing to do with their scam.
    If you are looking to build your own cube or get involved with a community effort Ross Harvey is working on a very interesting project for that here: forums.parallax.com/discussion/172696/p2-p2-cube/p1

    Impressive. I too have the "LED cube" on my todo list, because I've always been fascinated with the flowing particle demos on those LED panels.
    I think it'd be a neat idea to render cupemaps of a scene in OpenGL and display them on the cubes faces. That way you could leverage accurate physics simulation to have the particles flow around the cubes faces (amongst other things).
    Congrats on the baby!

      @@MichaelCannUk Well, I don't know about better, you've done a pretty good job already, but I'll eventually get my own LED cube done and try to improve on those that came before me.
      And yeah, writing texture mapping from scratch for a 3D surface can be a bit daunting - but that's also the first step in setting up compatibility with a 3D engine, which in turn will enable so many more cool things. Like adding a small camera that peeks out of one edge to display a realtime cubemap of the environment on the LED panels.
      Anyway, I've subscribed to you, in case you ever do decide to tinker some more and share the results.

  • @xaytana
    @xaytana Před 3 lety +1

    If you could find a way to have an object appear in the center of the cube, but always have it oriented the same way in space no matter the cube's rotation, I think that'd be pretty cool.
    Imagine you're holding a glass cube, and inside that glass cube is a model of a goldfish. The goldfish's body never changes position, dorsal is always up, ventral is always down, anterior is always towards you, posterior is always away from you, and the lateral axis is always parallel to the ground/horizon. Yet no matter how you manipulate the cube, the central goldfish is never manipulated.
    I know in a program, like Blender for example, you would just need six cameras, one for each face of the cube, then manipulate the object. I just don't know how you would translate that kind of operation to a program that can run on low-spec hardware and make it power efficient. As for manipulation of the object, inverse the gyroscope's input, that way the object inversely moves as the cube moves, producing the effect of the object not moving while the cube moves.
    If there's a way to pull it off, it'd be a cool effect. Probably not the most practical effect for something like this, but a cool party trick nonetheless.
