Though it's said to be easy to create skeletons invading the living room, ribbon rainbows and other complex patterns, the makers say that the technology also allows complete novices to create animations easily. "The whole process can be as quick as a few minutes."Ī scene from a video game (Photo: Bitbangerlabs) "The device will read the image you've selected and display it one vertical line at a time as you move with it," Stephen McGuigan, one of its creators, tells Gizmag. All they need to do is switch to the long exposure mode in their camera, load images they've made in Photoshop (or similar software) into the light stick, start the camera and walk through the frame a few times while holding the Pixelstick. Since every pixel is represented by a single LED, users can create a light painting that's anywhere from one to 198 pixels in height. Resembling a really fancy light saber, the 6 ft (2 m) Pixelstick contains 198 RGB LEDs in its aluminum frame and a controller that accesses uploaded images from an SD card.
Capable of reading images created in any image editing software, the digital light rod displays the desired image a line at a time, letting you create visuals in real world settings that can feature anything from floating graffiti to video game characters, blinking heads or brilliant swirls of color.
What if creating the illusion of a ghost walking next to you was as simple as waving a light stick in front of a camera? Pixelstick is a new light painting tool developed by Brooklyn-based Bitbangerlabs, that allows anyone to create incredible images with the aid of a camera set to take long exposure photographs.
