Fluid Simulation Pendant #WearableWednesday

Mixtela has crafted an elegant pendent combining traditional jewelry making with an LED fluid simulation.

See the whole project:

The motivation and initial design is described extensively in the youtube video, so I won’t repeat myself too much here, but in short, following the volumetric display animations, I’ve been looking to implement a realtime fluid simulation that ultimately could create a 3D virtual snowglobe. Progress has been made on that front, but along the way, we came up with the Simsim concept, upon which this pendant is based.

While working on it, I came up with a bunch of cool new developments that led to several other projects, which I’ll post in due time, but this is the project that spawned them. Not just the fluid simulation stuff, but also the unexpected benefits of a diagonal charlieplexed display.


Have fun with charlieplexed Matrices and create your own Animated Flame Pendant with the Adafruit Learning System

We planned this animated flame simply as a piece of high-tech jewelry, but other uses are possible…a fire or lantern effect on cosplay props, a safer alternative to having candles on the table or as part of a holiday display, or a unique night light for finding your way to the bathroom at night.
