Persistance Of Vision - POV GLOBE

thingiverse

Hi Makers, Today I'll be sharing a new project with you all. It's called POV Globe, and it's based on the concept of persistence of vision. So let's take a quick look at what persistence of vision is: Any AC voltage light appears to be blinking on and off at a frequency of 60Hz or 60 times per second. Our brains interpret this as constant light, which is exactly what we'll be exploiting in order to create a spherical image using just one row of LEDs. We're using 58 LEDs for each half of the globe, so you'll need a total of 116 LEDs to get started. To create the circular shape, we'll be relying on a 3D printer. If you want to see more details about how it all works, I recommend checking out the video tutorials below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4GZj4AGmVk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=930jzEfo3zg
