Paint and play with low energy light

Imagination%20canvas%20pic%202.jpg

We're big fans of LED technology here at hippyshopper, and once again, Philips has really immersed itself in low-energy light technology to create pretty, soothing environments. The company has now expanded that to provide an interactive light display for the brand new Mercy Medical Centre in Rogers, Arkansas.

This installation, displayed in the Women's and Children's waiting area, is a 14-ft long, 6ft-high canvas that uses touchscreen technology to animate 1,420 LEDs. Each 'painting' a visitor produces last for a few minutes before fading away, and up to six 'artists' can make their mark at a time. Despite the apparent power of the canvas, it only uses the same amount of daily energy as a toaster!
