This is not something, but he already has a couple of years, but we still have a lot of attention. We are talking about one of the creations of designer Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Flatsun is a set of LEDs 60,000 and forming a screen that mimic the shape and color of the sun. It sounds difficult to do, but the truth is that these small LEDs does a great job of imitating the star of the solar system.
Lozano-Hemmer had to use math to create the spherical screen that creates the sun and having a diameter of about 1.4 meters. Obviously Flatsun is many millions of times smaller than the real sun, but also shines with great intensity.
Best of all, it is an interactive Flatsun. As people walk around or near the appliance is able to respond to movements. If you have a room full of people, the animation is very active again.
