hmm… they could be, theoretically, wireless.. you'd hold them up using helium, keep them together using magnets.. and you'd just need something so they don't get too close together

So how come I can see wires?

Response: Because no one said they could fly? :P I guess they only hold them up but the controls are wireless. I bet you could cut them down and roll them on the floor.

@ Elam; We used Blender because it already has all the tools build in that are really handy for working in 3D environments. Sure we could have gone for processing or done everything in OpenFrameworks, but Blender already has a timeline, 3D objects that are easy to control and such. We figured we wouldn't need to build all that ourselves.

These are really fun. I was wondering if they are also for sale and how much they cost. I imagine you would need quite a few for a display.

I'm curious as to how Blender fits in?

Why not use something like Processing or VVVV?

would be interesting to see in person. pretty neat. I like how each wixel can do swipe fades in their luminosity.
