More Hidden Messages
My Covert Public Message display from last year's Maker Faire is back and has a new kind of hidden message display:
This year's project uses a series of LEDs to display two alternating messages, one in visible light and the other in invisible infrared light. The infrared LEDs are visible by looking at them through a digital camera (still, cell phone camera, video camera, etc).
The LEDs display the messages via Persistence of Vision. The LEDs are mounted to the spokes of a bicycle wheel, spun by a fan motor (with speed control). The display is synchronized to center the messages and has Plexiglas covers to protect the viewer from moving parts.
