The flip-dot display is an electromechanical dot matrix display technology usually used for large outdoor signs. We were curious about its potential for a data physicalisation so we had an explore…take a look. The disc changes position according to a change in the magnetic field.
Thank you to everyone that worked on the DAPTEC Flat Holm project and to all the kids from Mount Stuart primary school, Cardiff that helped us test the exhibit.
We have reached the next phase of our project where people are starting to interact with the exhibit. Some really interesting feedback is filtering back to us.
We needed hundreds of LEDS to make our interactive map work… but it was well received once we got it working.
