Flipbook Drawing Machine (formerly Grain-sketching Machine)

Created on 15 Nov 2017

Flip through reality with our electromechanical drawing machine!

We'll use a set of lead screws and stepper motors, along with some computer vision and RGB LEDs, to create a colorful experience in which user submit gifs/video clips and our drawing machine sketches out each frame of the gif during a visual extravaganza. The result is a rainbow lightshow and a custom flipbook.
