AquaScript in Public Spaces

Filed Under Digital Signage 

I seem to remember Dave Haynes wrote something about this a while ago on his blog but I don’t remember seeing a video of the results.

Engadget had a post on Sunday about AquaScript.  A system that, according to Engadget:

a system of displaying moving text and images using falling drops of water, thus creating a kind of virtual billboard that appears to be hovering in mid-air. The system — called AquaScript — works by utilizing magnet-valves which expel single drops of water on demand; proprietary software syncs the valves into a “freely definable bitmap-muster” which produces blocks of images with the falling liquid

Interesting use of a system.  I’d be interested to know how small a system you can use this in (e.g. containerized in smaller self-contained units) and just how complex a BitMap can get.
