lzrdm

LZRDM is a geodesic dome structure complete with an advanced immersive sound and lighting system. Every element of LZRDM has been custom-built by our group of high-tech tinkerers, from the dome frame to the speaker housing.


At the core of the project is our in-house software for producing bespoke laser and lighting effects. Hover over the images to find out more.



fig. 1: 30 lasers positioned around the Dome perimeter are controlled individually.
fig. 4: Real-time 3D visualisation can be obtained with Processing.
fig. 2: Intensity and rotation values are received via the electronics platform Arduino
fig. 5: An intuitive Max for Live interface allows users to create complex laser patterns.
fig. 3: The brains of the system is coded in Java, with output to Arduino via serial.
fig. 6: The GUI uses timing data from host software Ableton to sync the lasers to a live DJ.
