The Winter Olympics in Sochi brilliant idea: tens of thousands of LED lights to create 3D face

Local time January 16, 2014 reported that this year to the people watching the Sochi Winter Olympic Games will have the chance to see their faces appear in a large machine building, and is not a projection or flat screen display, but will face a three-dimensional display in the side of the building. The project was led by British architect Asif Kahn, the project called Megaface. The whole show is like a sculpture of Mount Rushmore to four presidents, but the screen is dynamic, more like a pin screen animation.

The whole device contains 10000 brakes, LED lights, can be extended from the building 6 feet away, forming a three-dimensional shape. The Winter Olympics visitors first need to complete the "3D photo booth" facial scanning, then Kahn brake design began to move, and ultimately the formation of 500 square feet (46.5 square meters) of large scanning three-dimensional model. The face of 3 participants can be displayed in 20 seconds.
