The Very Large LED Array, or VLLA, was a project done when I was in MIT undergrad. Friends of mine built the hardware to mount on the ceiling during parties. I wrote software to control it via GLSL (graphics shader language), JavaScript, Lua, or UDP. It could play GIFs, ran games that were controlled by whistling, and could mirror a tiny slice of pixels from your desktop (using X11).
I worked for Looking Glass on the L3D Cube, programmed demos for the volumetric display, and wrote the first library for the hardware platform.
At the MIT Hacking Arts hackathon in 2016 a friend and I tried driving the painting robot I had been building from his brain-waves using OpenBCI.
