our QC-app to generate the realtime content:

Our simulator, to be able to work at the office without the actual construction.
This replaces a WYSIWYG setup which proved to be overly complicated, especially under our time constraints. The Orb was modelled and uvw textured in 3dsmax, then rendered in realtime using a syphon texture:

The MadMapper / MAD_Light setup, sending 24 artnet universes:

Back from NYC after completing the MAD_Orb installation, driven by MadMapper.
192 LED tubes custom-designed by GarageCube and ShowJockey in China, positioned in 3d space on a scaffolding structure, and 2d unwarped using MAD_Light.
Content generated in realtime using a custom QC-app, and controlled through a PS3 joypad.
Video fo follow.
