Thought you guys might be interested in an open-source project that I just came across via the Sydney Hackspace...

That's cool but beyond my ability to piece together.

Love the Pacman photo in the link!

I've seen these used on car wheels before.
You have a little controler in the car, and as you drive along, the wheels light up with various meesages that you've programmed into them, as they spin along.

Some clocks also use a similar system where they display the time in the air, using a sweep of light.

Pretty cool IMHO.
