Lending a new meaning to "playing with fire", the
Infernoptix Digital Pyrotechnic Matrix is a 12x7 programmable display comprised of small flame throwers, allowing the user to draw shapes and patterns. Even with its relatively low resolution, the ability for a variety of pre-programmed and live messages is impressive. Versions 1.0 and 2.0 were created in 2006 and are in the backyard of inventor and designer, Neal Ormand, and are available for special events. Neal recently emailed me and said he is currently working on another one at least 25 times as large for a specific (and confidential) client.
In the mean time, enjoy these
images and
videos and imagine what this kind of experience could bring to a hotel pool area at night...or better yet, as a new scoreboard for the Miami Heat!
Thanks, Neal.
