Spotted At Supercon: Glowtape Wearable Display

.We allow enthusiasts of unusual clocks here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy just before a person called our attention to the gloriously luminous wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and also it utilizes a thick variety of UV LEDs and a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark component to feature the moment and also time, and also graphics as well as long strands of content drawn up flat to develop an impromptu streamer. It looked incredible personally, with the invigorated areas on the strip glowing vibrantly during the night events in the alley.The text message as well as graphics would discolor reasonably promptly, however in practice, that is actually barely a complication when you’re only attempting to examine the current opportunity. If there was something to confine the practicality on this set, it would have to be the meter-long item of product that you’ve reached maintain pushing and also drawing through the device– however it’s a rate our team agree to pay for.Prefer some of your personal?

[Henner] has shared all of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED variety itself is actually a derivative of his Glowxels venture, which is worth browsing through if you would love to recreate this concept on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our team have actually observed this strategy made use of for this example, but it might be the absolute most small model of the principle we’ve observed until now.
