In 2017 Aeolab worked with The Studio at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
Stratin Design on the kinetic Line of Sight installation composed of
3 actuated "Galactic Wayfinder" signs that pivot and point in the direction of various planets, space craft and other
celestial objects based on real-time data and calculation of their locations in outer space.
Our contribution to this project was in the hardware design and programming of custom LED displays that are built into the installation signs. The displays incorporate bright high-resolution LED panels with fast refresh rates and embedded controllers with graphics and animated transitions programmed in C++ based on Qt framework.
