Shiny Balls Mirror is a large physical object made of 900 hollow metal tubes with polished chrome balls placed in them. The whole piece has the form of a large hexagon. This system is being developed to be a large display. Each hollow tube and shiny ball are one pixel in the display. This pixel has the ability to change its brightness by moving the chrome ball in (darker) or out (brighter) of the tube. A few interesting points about this display are the fact that it uses an hexagonal grid for the pixels rather than rectangular, also interesting is the fact that this display serves as a mirror in the way it reflects the viewer as a whole, but also it reflects the viewer 900 times on the shiny balls, making the positive content of the display (the bright pixels) the viewers themselves. Each ball is connected to a motor that can move it, and each 8 such motors are connected to a micro-controller that controls their movement, each 12 such controllers are connected to a serial bus. 8 such serial busses are connected to a host computer.
