Micro Living Helicopters

Imagine an "organism" made out of ... self organizing micro-helicopters.
Let me explain : each helicopter contains small LEDs and act as a smart pixel adapting in real time to spatially synchronize and form an elastic display. That is indeed surreal ! But check it out, it is completely unthinkable until you actually see it with your own eyes !



Flyfire, a project initiated by the SENSEable City Laboratory in collaboration with ARES Lab (Aerospace Robotics and Embedded Systems Laboratory) aims to transform any ordinary space into a highly immersive and interactive display environment.

If you liked this video you also need to watch some really nice wall projections I posted before. Follow the links.

A friend sent me this link which is based upon the same concept but done with balls of metal on a string. The sculture was made for a BMW exhibition : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVhVClFMg6Y
