Flyfire

March 12, 2010

MIT’s hypothetical 3D display composed of LED-fitted remote control helicopters.

Mechanical fireflies could help create a new kind of 3-D display, say researchers at MIT.

Standing in for the bioluminescent beetles will be LED-fitted, remotely controlled micro-helicopters that can be choreographed electronically to display shapes and images as they hover in midair. The project, called Flyfire, would use RC helicopters similar to the toys sold at the mall today.
