Symmetry Labs! http://symmetrylabs.com/

I'm working on a new paradigm for creating generative content for 3D displays (at the moment with LEDs). I'm also working on real-time, single-angle virtual reconstruction and registration of 3D LED structures using computer vision techniques.

Maybe not so computerish, but it reminded me of the Biathlon World Championship 2016 Title Sequence

Holy crap, those are some beautiful designs.

Why thank you! Everyone on the team is an artist in some way, so we tend to agree :)

I saw that Symmetry Labs did the Generate music video! I honestly thought that was CGI! Do you have any tips of getting started with the type of LED display work you do, with regards to the control software?

I would check out these 2 libraries:

Fadecandy by Micah Scott: https://github.com/scanlime/fadecandy

LX and P3LX by Mark Slee: https://github.com/heronarts/LX

They both provide good starting points to working with LEDs arranged in arbitrary 2D and 3D configurations.

You can also check out the code for 2 different LED art projects I've worked on, both built on top of LX.

Tabula - https://github.com/squaredproject/Tabula LED fins on the side of a building in Palo Alto, visualizing earthquake data. Construction starts later this year

2Squared - https://github.com/squaredproject/2squared 50-ft LED trees created in 2014 for Burning Man and Coachella

Awesome, thanks!

Wow. That's fucking awesome. I want one in my backyard. :)
