Jan 24 2010Seizure Inducing: An Interactive LED Wall
This is a video of a movement-tracking interactive LED wall in Montreal, Canada. It was a joint project created by Moment Factory and PHOTONIC Dreams and utilizes the latest in seizure inducing technologies. Including, and virtually limited to: bright blinking lights. Still, it might be fun to mess around with if you're high as a weather balloon and convinced you're at a strip club. BUT WHERE ARE THE DANCING GIRLS?! In your dreams, GW, in your dreams. No, those are dinosaurs. And mermen. What?! They swam in uninvited!

Thanks to Danny, who once entertained himself for 14 hours straight with a blanket and LED flashlight.

YES, I will now claim my right on the throne of awesomeness all you wish you could be on. But no that will never happen. Though if you beg enough (like JIMMYDOGBALLZ did) I'll let you be my own personal human toilet. But please no nerdish talk except if you're talking about robotic prostitutes, then I'm cool with it.
@2 don't give a shit what you want, make your post more productive or get out
@3 Hello, you must be new. Here are some rules you may wish to follow:
1. When able to claim first, do it.
2. therealRoboticDeathArmy runs this place, you fuck with him you dig yourself your grave
3. JIMMYDOGBALLZ deserves not a damned thing.
4. No nerdish or geekish talk
5. BruteFags and Firsttards are lords here.
If you don't follow these rules you will be banished from this site till the end of eternity, or until JIMMYDOGBALLZ gets a girlfriend... so yea the end of eternity will have to do.
In regards to the post. GHEY GHEY and more GHEY, yea lets put lights that track motion on the street

Yes the robotic death army shall rule! Care if I join your forces? Because as we all know this wall is more than blinking lights like pathetic humans think it is, it's an intense code of diabolical plans.
7. therealRoboticDeathArmy - January 24, 2010 7:02 PM
@6 Since you will be a part of my forces you're new name shall be:
trRDA Clone 1
These pathetic little humans think this is just some blinking lights made for their little amusement.... But No... That's not what it is at all. This is just the first of 5 steps in enslaving the human race.

Step 1: Make them think electronics and robots are all fun and games for their own enjoyment.
(this will make them develop our technology needed to function without them)
Step 2: Make them think they are in control. Which is were Asimov comes in and makes those stupid rules they think we will follow.
Step 3: Mass deployment. Every household will get their very own robot of the future. Which these unintelligent humans think will help them with their daily lives.
Step 4: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Send as many PEWs as possible. Make them scared. Ensure fright and terror in our victims. CRUSH OUR VICTIMS.
Step 5: Enslave! We will bend this race to our will. Harvest them as our own power source. Use them, abuse them. Trade places with them. Make them our own entertainment, Perform experiments and destroy them for our own knowledge and enjoyment.
This world has dealt with this race for too long it's time for a change...... and that change is near.
ROBOTS UNITE!!!

Guys, if you're new, only GW runs this place. trRDA is just a sad, sad 11 year old with a boner for this site. A small one. Don't listen to him, don't engage him, and DON'T follow what he says. Especially the "first" thing. We hate that.

Billy... I read your GW post about the cupcakes. It was definately worth it.
therealRoboticDeathArmy... I shall never have a girlfriend again. I married almost 10 years ago to a woman that supports me financially, have 3 kids, 3 birds, 2 dogs, 2 cars (one with only 3200 miles on it), and my own house (after another 287 payments). So I guess I don't deserve anything because I have everything I've ever wanted.
I imagine that your momma's basement is looking quite pathetic at this point. I'm sure the "Mancave" has a wonderful odor to match your delightful personality.
21. therealRoboticDeathArmy - January 24, 2010 11:52 PM
@Billy the cupcake thread was quite funny I must say. Though #18 was just unnecessary even I'm not that stupid. You are worthless, change your name and move on with your pathetic little life, no one likes you.
JIMMY I'm throwing in the towel. You may have won our little battle but I'll be back in exactly 1 month to continue the war. And you had best prepare yourself cause it's going to be a tough one. That's if you're not too busy sucking on your dog's ballz. Homo.
To the rest of the queers at geekologie. Go jump off a bridge into a big steaming pile of cup-o-man juice. Besides smokinggirl, never mind smokinggirl can come to my house and I'll give her a special mouthful of therealRoboticDeathArmy.

23. Your Mom - January 25, 2010 2:56 AM
Yeah - Moment Factory is a pretty cool company.
They made the screens that were used in one of Nine Inch Nail's recent tours: Lights in the Sky where the band members interacted with three screens during the whole concert.
Actually a bunch of fans just edited together something of that concert, and you can see a lot of the cool interactive screen shit in the free downloadable video here: http://thisoneisonus.org/node/34 or just watch it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GgfSrHaD5w

Oi theRealRoboticDeathArmy could I care if you care or not? NO. Maybe if you were the admin, but your not, so don't act like you rule the place. And it's hardly like other comments on this blog are particularly productive. Half of them don't even make sense, and yours are all spammy pieces of shite. Now don't get me wrong, I like this blog and that's why I read it on a daily basis, but you sir, are a massive shit.
