led cube displays 3d images in color

April 6th, 2008 comments (16) stumble it! digg it! by: technabob

A while back, I reported on James Clar’s cool 3D cubes which could display images using a grid of about 1000 LEDs connected to a computerized controller. While Clar’s cubes are simply amazing, they can only display monochrome images. Now, a company in China has taken the same concept and created a multi-color version.

3D LED Cube LED Display by Seekway

Created by Chinese display manufacturer Seekway, this prototype 3D LED display cube was created using a 16×16x16 grid of interconnected color LEDs (that’s a whopping 4096 individual diodes).

The system is capable of displaying animations at up to 30 frames per second and each dot can be individually addressed for both color and intensity.

Now that the prototype is complete, Seekway is gearing up to produce versions with grids as large as 48×48x48, which will require more than 110,000 LEDs. Wow.

    So where do you go to buy the home edition?

    • mark says:

      i bought the smaller version of this for around $600 , my mates love it evry time i through a party, its wicked and the software is real easy to use.
      http://www.madeffects.com sell them and they are very helpful with sending us instruction pdf files on how to make your own text animations etc.
      Would love the massive 1m sq one to use as an ultimatly cool coffe table LOL.

    Yeah, I’d love one for my living room, but only the 110k LED version.

  3. Pauluis says:

    I’d like to modelize the 3D activity in a neural network, and to address questions as
    - hypothethical cellular switch between excitatory to inhibitory effect
    - distribution of inhibitory cells vs excitatory ones
    - migraine activity

  4. Pauluis says:

    Each LED would be a cell, red would be excitatory, green inhibitory.
    Connection grid would be proximity by modelized synapses.
    Modelization would also address the membrane time constant, as I did in 2D (pauluisQ.,BakerS.,OlivierE.1999)

  5. technabob says:

    Hmm. I don’t think you can do any of that with this cube.

  6. Velkro Smaak says:

    It does say that “each dot can be individually addressed for both color and intensity” so in theory, you cCAN do that with this sort of cube.

    HOW MUCH AND WHERE TO BUY IT?????????

  10. carl says:

    It’s a chinese company but impossible to know the price of this box :o (

    I would be so happy to put the animation i do inside ….

    let’s see http://www.3dleds.com

  11. alvaro says:

    where can it purchase it, im from mexico, shipping , cost,, can you send me more details, thanks

  12. mark says:

    a quick note, if you email them pretend you want to be a dealer and you are interested in samples and ask for trade price discount.
