Phi for All Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Doesn't this have to be the home of an electrical engineer? I don't know how old this video is but the guy has talent. http://members.cox.net/transam57/lights.wmv Has anyone done anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 A friend of mine showed me that video yesterday, and said this article speaks of it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051207/ap_on_fe_st/christmas_house_1 There are no pictures or links in that article to verify the connection between it and the video, but it's an interesting story nonetheless. It takes him about an hour to program each minute of the display, which flashes to music by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Wish I had that kind of free time.

Phi for All Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 There are no pictures or links in that article to verify the connection between it and the video, but it's an interesting story nonetheless.It's got to be the same house, AL, and thanks. I knew he had to have it computerized, but the low FM transmitter answered my other questions. I couldn't imagine living near this guy if he ran this in a regular loop WITH the sound. It rocks, but not 50 times a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzurePhoenix Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 That guy has earned my unconditional and undying respect, though I suspect his neighbors are going to prove to develop a rather high occurence of epilepsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 That video was incredible. I'm sharing that link with all my family in friends. I hope he doesn't run out of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecoli Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The first one (same hourse, different music) I don't like as much, but the second one is awesome... (same music, different house.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakuenso Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 do you think its possible to create a generic version for it? kinda like winamp's/media player's default sound settings that creates an image based on the various frequencies..

rakuenso Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 well how hard is it to code media player's visualizer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 well how hard is it to code media player's visualizer? true, but there's so many curcuits invovled, so unless you were able to design software for it, and connect everything into a computer controller, I don't think it could be done... or is that exactly what you had in mind?

starbug1 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 The first song is much better choreographed for the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calbiterol Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 That was. Amazing. That guy has earned my unconditional and undying respect, though I suspect his neighbors are going to prove to develop a rather high occurence of epilepsy. That too.

The Thing Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 For once I am speechless. ...... Incidentally, has anyone been to Las Vegas and seen the fountain in front of Bellagio? Amazing too. But the video, that's just one house as opposed to a billion-dollar hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
