Named in honor of the device that provides life-giving force in the 2007 Live Action Film “Transformers”, this real life large scale version contains 4,096 LEDs organized into a 2 inch wide grid. Little known facts about the All Spark Cube:
over 1500 volunteer man-hours were put into the design, build and testing
3000 feet of buss wire
17,000 solder connections interconnect the LEDs in a 3D matrix
16 custom designed circuit boards control visual effects from inside a custom cabinet
overall Diameter 4 feet square and 6 feet tall
a clear acrylic protective box over the LEDs
Originating from the design minds of the Utah based company Adaptive Computing’s intricate example of what LED technology can do today will surely catch some eyes.
