Python, Hardware, Networks and your toolbox for Interactive Art.
summary
A framed two-way mirror becomes a tiny interactive display built from a 32×40 LED matrix (Adafruit WS2812 tiles) driven by FadeCandy + Open Pixel Control and a small Linux box, using Python + SimpleCV/OpenCV for camera input and a Flask WebSocket server to accept live controls. Tetris runs as a web client sending queued commands; the system renders at ~16 fps, costs roughly $1 per pixel, and is functional as shown at PyOhio.
