A bead curtain made from multicolour LEDs, and capable of displaying a video signal - e.g. from a camera looking at the view behind the curtain.
I'd imagine something like this...

U2 giant LED curtain

U2's huge (and very costly) solution from their Vertigo tour [footzilla, May 29 2009]

Art that I saw while in Palm Springs last spring break. Not multicolor, and not a curtain you're supposed to walk through, but similar. [notexactly, Aug 29 2016]

What happens if there is another beaded curtain there, only this one is made out of wooden beads? |
|

I'd quite like to extend this to Christmas tree lights. If, during setup, each led strobed at a given frequency, and you pointed a camera at the tree - a computer program might be able to identify and remap each individual led into the 2d injection (or whatever the opposite of a projection is) from that point - finally, as the idea suggests, you could have the lights display the images of your choice, only instead of being in a 2d curtain configuration, they'd be wrapped around your Christmas tree (or car, or girlfriend etc). |

I once posted an idea here for a beaded curtain for a dog... would love to combine it with this idea and see the dog portrayed running around as something else.... for example, like a large piece of burning coal. |

([zen] - you decorate your girlfriend with fairy lights?) |
|
| |
(Not yet! But, if you do hear in the news about some terrible and bizarre fairy-light accident, you never seen me, right! |

It could be like one of those James Bond opening sequences, except, instead 60's oil projectors, it would be implemented in digital LEDs.) |
|
| |
It could show a video. 'The Matrix' comes to mind. |
|
| |
And [Ling] - the green falling thingys would be great on this...awesome. |

I saw this at a U2 concert a few years ago, though it was
huge, extremely expensive, and broke a few times during the
show. I want one. |
|

zen_tom: I wanted to do this to my christmas tree for years.
I'll be sure to post pics/videos when (if) it's done. |

Very nice indeedy. However [wagster's] typo
makes me think of hippo hats. That's a whole
'nother thingy. |
