Found this link when looking for other stuff.  If posted before I apologize.

These guys use buildings to display interactive arcade games.

That's just not right.  I don't even have a clapper to control my lights......and look at them.

I saw a story on it when they implemented the prototype, but this is totally off the wall.

WTD! Does that thing have grayscale shading??  :o

Hah, this idea has come to my mind a couple of times, since in the city that I live very near to, Rotterdam, there is a building with a "built in" light wall that can be completely controlled. It's normaly for promotional stuff etc. I wonder why no-one did this idea yet.

This is the building:


And this is what it looks like in the dark:

This was during a performace of Tiesto by the way :D

Another pic:


I guess doing something like this would be "a breeze" on this building since it was actualy  meant to be a gigantic display anyway.....

I have no idea who to contact but I think I will drop the idea. Especialy since this building is owned by KPN, the biggest Dutch telecom operator, the idea of phoning in for a game should be something they will like :D

[Edit] It's 72x37 meters by the way.

This is/was an idea to project, not sure if this was ever done and if it can do it so smoothly....

Probably not. The two photos above that show what was displayed don't appear to have antialiasing (hard to tell). The dancing baby (which needs to die a horrible death btw) has a lot of partial "pixels".

Yeah, I saw the partial pixels as well. But this was just a proposal AFAIK. I'm not sure if the intensity of the lights can be adjusted, I don't really think so...

O well....lets see if I get some responses....
