First up is LightSpace, which uses a plethora of cameras and projectors to create interactive displays on everyday objects.

Next, I had to figure out how to illuminate the inside of this thing and make it do more than just cycle through colors. The first thing I did was devise a plane for the “bulb.” I decided to go with a dodecagon, which I believe means a 12-sided object. Actually, I had no idea what one of these things was called.
