Abstract
A coiled coil geometry of modular concave LED/OLED panels or “tiles” can effectively display a simulated barreling wave. The structure of the coiled coil LED/OLED modules allows one or more users/participants to stand on and/or sit in a motion or non-motion seating platform to observe the simulation.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of display modules interconnected to form a tubular simulation display, each display module of the plurality of display modules including a plurality of interconnected display panels arranged to form a concave barrel segment in a coil shape with the plurality of interconnected display panels facing inward of the concave barrel segment and forming the interior of the concave barrel segment, the concave barrel segment having a first coil end, a second coil end, a first edge, and a second edge, each display module interconnected to a next display module via a coil end and an edge, the plurality of display modules arranged in parallel and supported in a uniform superstructure,
- wherein the tubular simulation display is configured to allow users to traverse over portions of the plurality of display modules,
- at least one non-coiled display positioned in a proximity of a first end of the tubular simulation display,
- wherein the at least one non-coiled display displays scenery in a forward facing orientation.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of display modules interconnected to form a curved skate ramp, each display module of the plurality of display modules including a plurality of interconnected display panels arranged to form a curve with the plurality of interconnected display panels facing inward of the curve, the plurality of display modules arranged in parallel and supported in a uniform superstructure;
- wherein the curved skate ramp is configured to allow skaters to traverse over portions of the plurality of display modules,
- at least one non-coiled display positioned in a proximity of a first end of the curved skate ramp,
- wherein the at least one non-coiled display displays scenery in a forward facing orientation.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- interconnecting a plurality of display modules to form a tubular simulation display, each display module of the plurality of display modules including a plurality of interconnected display panels arranged to form a concave barrel segment in a coil shape with the plurality of interconnected display panels facing inward of the concave barrel segment and forming the interior of the concave barrel segment, the concave barrel segment having a first coil end, a second coil end, a first edge, and a second edge, each display module interconnected to a next display module via a coil end and an edge, the plurality of display modules arranged in parallel and supported in a uniform superstructure,
- wherein the tubular simulation display is configured to allow users to traverse over portions of the plurality of display modules,
- displaying scenery in a forward facing orientation on at least one non-coiled display positioned in a proximity of a first end of the tubular simulation display.
