Pixel Roller

By

Reading time 1 minute

More goods from the Interaction Design WORK IN PROGRESS show manifest in the Pixel Roller, by Stuart Wood and Florian Ortkrass.

It can be viewed like a hand printer, the pixel roller can roll out any image, video or text manually, at any speed or direction, round corners and over surfaces. … The pixels are in the form of a series of 12 ultra bright UV LEDs situated along its axis. These UV LEDs excite phosphorescent ink and leave trails of pixels that fade with time.

They’re working on a paint version as well, which will let you use inks to paint any surface directly and watch them glow. The project page has a video gallery so you can see the Pixel Roller in action.
