Spotted At Supercon: Glowtape Wearable Show

.Our experts allow followers of unusual clocks below at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long prior to a person contacted our attention to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, and it uses a heavy array of UV LEDs and also a long strip of glow-in-the-dark product to show the moment and day, and also images as well as lengthy cords of text message drawn up horizontally to create an unscripted streamer. It appeared incredible personally, along with the stimulated regions on the strip radiant brilliantly throughout the night events in the back road.The message and also pictures will vanish relatively quickly, yet virtual, that’s hardly a trouble when you are actually simply attempting to check the existing time. If there was something to restrict the usefulness on this set, it would need to be actually the meter-long item of product that you have actually reached keep driving and drawing through the system– but it is actually a price our experts’re willing to pay out.Prefer among your personal?

[Henner] has actually shared every one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED variety on its own is in fact a spin-off of his Glowxels venture, which deserves taking a look at if you want to create this principle on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time we have actually viewed this approach made use of for this kind of thing, yet it might be actually the best sleek version of the concept our experts’ve observed until now.
