PIXEL POI ACT
A "PIXEL POI ACT" is a professional stage performance using programmable LED props called "pixel poi" to create visually stunning displays of images, patterns, logos, and text in the air. The "ACT" refers to the specific performance or show itself.
Full Description of a Pixel Poi Act
- Pixel Poi Technology: Pixel poi (short for "point of interest" in a different context, but here refers to the specific light-up props) are advanced LED devices that contain many individual, color-changing LEDs (pixels) arranged in a line or matrix. When spun rapidly by a performer, the flashing LEDs, combined with persistence of vision, create the illusion of solid images or animations "floating" in the air.
- The Performance (The "Act"): The act is a choreographed show, often involving dance and other light technologies like lasers, where artists manipulate the pixel poi to display custom graphic content.
- Customization: A key feature of these acts is the ability to customize the displayed graphics. This is especially popular for corporate events, product launches, and brand reveals, where company logos, slogans, or specific product images can be incorporated into the performance.
- Visual Effect: The performance is a high-tech spectacle that is most effective in low light conditions. Modern pixel poi use accelerometers and advanced software to ensure image stabilization and clarity regardless of spinning speed or movement, producing crisp, high-resolution visuals.
- Integration: Pixel poi acts can be standalone shows or integrated into larger productions using professional stage protocols such as DMX to sync with other lighting and sound elements. The number of performers can range from a solo artist to a large group of synchronized dancers.
