Described as a “massive interactive sun pixel facade,” LightByte is an interactive scrim that modifies the sun’s rays into complex shapes. The interface transforms sunlight into an expressive medium for the purposes of conveying information, communicating ideas, and creating intricate patterns. Hundreds of individually-controlled, wood-based servo flaps act like solar […]
