Create by designer Sheng-Ying Pao, it consists of a wall of wooden servo flaps that act like ‘sun pixels’. It uses hidden computing algorithms and kinetic mechanisms to let sunlight in or blocked out to project the intended visuals on the room’s wall. It can also project messages sent by mobile from a different location.

LightByte is a kinetic interactive communication channel. It modifies sun’s ray at your whim into intricate shapes. Light and shadow entering a space can be created (2D or 3D) and animated (4D).

LightByte, a massive interactive sun pixel facade, modifies the sun’s rays at your whim into intricate shapes. It turns sunlight into an expressive medium to carry information, communicate ideas and to shape your own shadows.

Sheng-Ying Pao is a straight up inspiration. She is a PhD candidate in MIT Media Lab. She has experience in interaction design, biomedical engineering, and international marketing. Her innovative and interactive art examines the intersection between art and technology. This video shows her project "LightByte", which uses sunlight to project patterns onto a wall as indicated by the user.
