Patent ID: 7397387

Claim:
A light sculpture system comprising: volumetric three-dimensional display assembly, comprising: a rotating printed circuit board (PCB), a plurality of illuminating PCBs attached to the rotating PCB, and a multiplicity of light emitting elements on each of said plurality of illuminating PCBs; a microcontroller for sending output of data to the multiplicity of light emitting elements of the volumetric three-dimensional display, said microcontroller controlling timing, animation, and communication routines; and one or more user interface controls in communication with the microcontroller to allow a user to draw in a three-dimensional volume of the volumetric three-dimensional display in real time, wherein the microcontroller and one or more user interface controls are operable to control a first voxel and a second voxel, wherein the first voxel is controllable independently from any voxel adjacent to the first voxel and wherein the second voxel is controllable independently from any voxel adjacent to the second voxel.
