Preview: Interactive LED Balls, from the Olympics
I’m such a terrible blogger. Here are giant, glowing balls, and I can’t think of a cheeky, snarky, tasteless way to describe them. (Heck, I don’t even know of anything to do with those inflatable beavers at the Olympics.)

No, seriously — they are. The Arduino-powered devices go beyond just being raver toys to being something quite lovely. I look forward to hearing more about them. And needless to say, the domain of physical objects is one that’s generally been under-utilized by visualists.

Digital Graffiti, and Olympic OpenFrameworks for the Gold!
