The theater was stripped down, we ran some wires for speakers, and then just had the spray foam people here. Now we can have it all put back together.

Also,

since I am largely pathetic and no one person could do justice to Burning Man, here is a link to some pretty nice pictures from someone I do not know; referral from Boing Boing. Some of them are pretty awesome pictures and I’m sure the Web has plenty more to offer. Here’s one option: the burningman2014 tag on flickr.

Jason’s lights:

Thuy’s lights:

I managed to throw together a shirt and pants:

Thuy made a couple things too but no pictures. We spent much of the weekend working on lighting for the outfits. I didn’t take any picture/video of mine but here is a picture of the pieces of Thuy’s, which shows the controller, touch-sensitive pad, accelerometer, color sensor, and one ring of LEDs on the left, which will go on the front, and a pattern of LEDs (aka the Snail) that will be the back:

 

Here’s what the room looked like:

I moved my little OLED screen to the clock location and sent my clock module to Arron fo be 3D scanned, so we can model and print a replacement.

The weather was nice today so I had the top off and took a few pictures under various lighting conditions to show how it looks compared to the A/C-control display. Under all lighting conditions it’s at least as bright. I’m thinking for my final display, I will use two of these OLED screens or two slightly larger screens (1.7″ instead of 1.3″), maybe in combination with an LED-segment display. Still considering options.

These shots were all taken within about 5 minutes of each other. Around 6:30 pm, first with light coming in the windshield, behind the display, then in the shade but with light from behind, and then with light directly on the console at a low, partially sideways angle:
