LED Headbands at Blip Festival

ledheadband

Adafruits own James DeVito made these awesome LED headbands for his performing friends George & Jonathan.

Wirelessly controlled LED headbands made for George & Jonathan. Controlled by MIDI commands in Logic Pro, translated by a Processing sketch, then sent to the headbands via Xbee. Powered by 4 C-Batteries in their back pocket.

    I wish there was more info for the hardware setup. Would love to make an LED CUBE version of this. :/
