Found this interesting 3d display, consisting of 8 blocks of 2x2x2 meters

One display module is shown on its own in the picture above.

Electrical engineering students at Delft create the world’s largest 3D-display
The “Electrotechnische Vereeniging”, the association for students of electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), will reveal the world’s largest 3D-display Sunday 23rd of April.

The display measures 8 metres in width, 4 metres in height and 2 metres in depth and consists of a matrix of 8.000 LEDs with table tennis balls around them. This stunt is being organised because of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the “Electrotechnische Vereeniging” (ETV). The display will be revealed on Sunday at 9.00 pm local time on the ‘Markt’ in Delft.

Applications on the MatriXX display will be:

3D snake
3D pong
3D duckhunt
SMS (short message service/text messaging) display
Various animations/movies
The next Monday evening and Tuesday evening the display will be shown next to the faculty of electrical engineering (Mekelweg 4, Delft).

It will be possible to send text messages to the MatriXX during the times it is operating. Send your sms/text to +31 (0) 6 24 171 797 . It will be displayed during the next sms display time slot. Threats, rude language etc will be filtered.

This is based on an idea of James Clarr
