.Our team allow enthusiasts of unique timepieces listed here at Hackaday, so it really did not take long prior to someone phoned our focus to the gloriously radiant timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a heavy collection of UV LEDs and a long strip of glow-in-the-dark component to present the amount of time as well as time, in addition to graphics and also lengthy strands of content written out flat to generate an unscripted banner. It looked phenomenal personally, with the vitalized regions on the tape radiant brightly during the course of the evening celebrations in the alleyway.The text message and images would fade rather quickly, however virtual, that is actually barely an issue when you are actually only trying to check out the existing opportunity. If there was actually one thing to limit the practicality on this set, it would certainly must be the meter-long part of component that you have actually got to always keep pushing and pulling with the device– but it is actually a price we’re willing to pay.Desire some of your very own?
[Henner] has actually discussed each one of the resource code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the series. The LED variety itself is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels task, which deserves browsing through if you want to recreate this principle on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our team have actually viewed this approach used for this kind of thing, but it might be actually one of the most sleek variation of the concept we have actually seen until now.
