The Orbital Rendersphere displays images and videos on a four-foot diameter spherical surface using persistence of vision (POV).
 
Uses a (stationary) Mac Mini to render each frame, and a (spinning) BeagleBone Black to update the LEDs.
 
Slip ring for power; Wi-Fi to transfer data.
 
The Orbital Rendersphere displays video at 30 frames per second by spinning four vertical LED strips spaced 90 degrees apart at 450 RPM.
 
36 feet of WS80211 LED strips.
 
''(But it looks like 2 complete circles, each 4 ft diameter -- isn't that closer to 25 feet?)''
 
102x224 pixel resolution.
 
Several people comment that this is the biggest POV globe they've ever seen.
 
It's mentioned on p. 1-44 of
 
John Baichtal, "Robot Builder"[http://books.google.com/books?id=6W4eBQAAQBAJ].

Built by Félix, Sylvain, and Jérémy at at Telecom ParisTech. highest-resolution POV display I've seen so far. "The time it took us was roughly two months full time". (Does this have a name?)
 
 
* [https://www.das-labor.org/wiki/Borg_Ventilator "Borg Ventilator"]. Twice the resolution of the Telecom ParisTech display? A total of 244 RGB LEDs (spread over 4 wings). Has standard VGA input; a Xilinx FPGA and a bunch of support chips convert to circular coordinates. Power through slip rings. Data through non-contact inductive transfer (recycled VCR head). "The speed is infinitely adjustable between 0 and 2500 rpm / min. The FPGA adapts to the actual speed"

"we recently decided to move this project to the Raspberry Pi board away from Arduino.
 
The capabilities and processing power of the Pi are much greater than Arduino.
 
... [but] ... the refresh rate is too slow, much slower then the Arduino was.
 
We need some help figuring out how to turn up the SPI speed with our current software arrangement.

It might be nice to make a [[spinning electronics]] page to describe the many weird and wonderful ways that people (a) get power to the spinning electronics, and (b) transmit data to and from the spinning electronics.
