LoopScape: Playing Around Cylindrical LED Screen
LoopScape, by Ryota Kuwakubo, is a game for 2 players with wireless controllers. It is a very classic shooting game. But instead of battling on a flat screen, you have to run around the cylindrical LED screen to follow your spaceship. Another consequence of having a 360° is that once your missile is fired, it will fly round and round until it hits something: hopefully it will hit your opponent’s rocket but you might also get shot down by your own missile if the enemy manages to avoid it.
LoopScape –together with Unreflective Mirror, by Masaki Fujihata, A-Volve by Sommerer/Mignonneau, FragMental by exonemo, and works by five other artists– is part of the Art & Technology Zone, an exhibition area where one can investigate the dialogue between technology and art. The show opens on June 6 and runs until September 9, at ICC, Tokyo.
NTT is also hosting the lovely Kodama installation by Hisako Kroiden Yamakawa.

360° LED Display
The “360° LED Display” is equipped with thousands of bright LEDs. Each of it spins around a drum to create vivid image in a 360-degree panorama.
Using patented technology, the LEDs component counts are reduced to several tenths of that in conventional LED displays. It utilizes fewer LEDs, and consumes less operation power. Maintenance fee is saved to a great extent as the result. Yet, the “360° LED Display” incredibly shows far excellent performance at VGA, XVGA, VHS and SVHS.
Unlike conventional display which has red, blue and green color elements separated, the “360° LED Display”‘ flying red green and blue LEDs are turned on right at the same spot to create an effective pixel which makes the image perfectly crispy.
The “360° LED Display”’s real pixel has a size as fine as 2.5 by 2.5mm. Crisp and vivid images remain for any viewing distance and guarantee authentic video quality even for spectators close to the display.
All flying LEDs are calibrated using proprietary correction technology to assure color uniformity across the entire screen and display 16.7 million distinct true colors.
