This is a pretty cool project. The idea is that you have an individually programmable RGB LED strip that you modulate over time, while walking in front of a camera. With a long enough exposure, you get a 2D image. But the really cool aspect is that the camera will also capture the shadow of the thing, giving the impression that you actually have a plane of light floating mid-air.
Very interesting, so that is just with one light bulb? Can it be done by having planes of light being held up?

many LEDs, all RGB, on a strip.
woaaaahhh!!!...... nitro2k01, do you have any idea if this suppor animated gif?????? or a sequence of images??? because i could produce graphics for this proyect
Since it relies on a long camera exposure time, it can only produce still images by nature. However, nothing would stop you from painstakingly making several frames and do a stop-motion kind of thing. Of course, every frame would be aligned slightly differently in each frame, if the rod is carried in your hand, since human motion isn't perfect. You can see this as a part of the craft, and live with it.
Of course you'd need to build the thing or convince the creator to record frames for you. (I'm not the creator and I haven't built one, so I'm not of much help.)
Man, what I wouldn't give to get a Theta symbol with mountains in the background on this thing. 
Someone actually made an iPad app to do sort of the same thing, though the big RGB strip is definitely cooler, but the app might be a bit more within reach for some people.

Yah!... totally true, i forget about the long exposure time. The pics at their flickr looks so good and dont looks like. Btw, thx again afor sharing this! i will contact the guy and see what happen!
I remember Nintendo released a Pokémon one of these like 5 years ago or so... Japan only of course, but it seemed pretty sweet.
Also, seeing pictures of Sydney always confuses me cause of the bridge. My local city, Newcastle, is somewhat known for the Tyne Bridge, which looks like this:

lol, why not straight up .avi while we're at it..

my comment acutally is a fail! jajaja... i forget the pics are taken from long exposure. You cant actually do that, or you can, doing it with static images and stop-motion as nitro said! :PPPP
ui is the n00b!... btw, this project rox so bad!...
im just playin with ya, hehe. it is great to see this come to fruition, here's hoping we see they use it to make some killer stop motion stuff. welcome to the future
