	I did a mock up a couple of variations of the cylindrical display. The dimensions are 16 x 72 pixels and 24 x 72 pixels. You can view the video [http://alpha.kellyegan.net/lof_display/ here]. Both of these display could be done for around $3500 if we kept the cost per pixel under $3 and $2 respectively. This of course does not include cost of any structural parts and a computer and other electronics.		I did a mock up a couple of variations of the cylindrical display.

			* The video looks awesome. The cylinder is much more dynamic than a standard billboard. Perhaps angled sides such that the profile would would be an inverted trapezoid or a section of a cone in 3d space. (see asci sketch).

This is a project page for ideas, notes and research related to a project in conjunction with load of fun to create a Low Res display for the roof of the building.

The idea is to do something along the lines of [http://www.blinkenlights.net/?language=de Blinkenlights] or [http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=72#video GRL Drive-In GIF Theater].

Some initial ideas:

* Create a standard screen (something like 4:3 or 16:9)

* Create a marquee style display which is longer and extends along the edge of the building.

* Create a cylindrical display. This seems the most unique. Also it has the advantage of being visible from all angles.

I did a mock up a couple of variations of the cylindrical display. The dimensions are 16 x 72 pixels and 24 x 72 pixels. You can view the video at [http://vimeo.com/5940673 vimeo]. Both of these display could be done for around $3500 if we kept the cost per pixel under $3 and $2 respectively. This of course does not include structures costs and a computer and other electronics.

Any thoughts?
