If you watched any of the Olympics in Tokyo on broadcast TV or online you would have seen some stunning visual effects. The one that hit me was the projection mapping introductions for the highest profile track events – the 100 metre sprints for women and men. […]
The track and field events are now up and literally running at the new National Stadium in Tokyo for the Olympics, allowing viewers to see a lot of large format LED displays. But there are no ticketed spectators, so very few people other than athletes, coaches and officials are seeing more than 600 digital signage displays that are all over the venue. […]
It’s rare to see a new-build store kitted out with digital displays BEFORE it gets merchandised and opened up, so this is an interesting little video showing fine pitch LED used all over a duty-free shop at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.

This is something called Luminous Textiles – a Philips product that blends multi-coloured LEDs with fabric panels. I’ve seen stuff a bit like this using relatively low-rez LED modules and a layer of film that diffuses and softens the light. In this case, it’s for a working exhibit at Tokyo’s Narita airport that celebrates toilets made by the Japanese company TOTO. […]
