Interactive Light
summary
Projects show working prototypes not promises: a lamp counts facing badges by reading 38 kHz pulsed infrared and adjusts color using an Arduino RedStick and Adafruit NeoPixels, cheap LED strips fail but Adafruit hardware works reliably; a festival-scale paint by RGB wall uses 5,000 tea‑light LEDs, 15,000 AAA batteries recycled, ~250 handheld IR brushes and custom PCBs milled on a benchtop CNC, and the systems demonstrably read, transmit and control light-driven signals in real installations.
