Purpose
I would like to create a simple interface for managing a light show, whether for stage lighting, light/music synchronization, or for artistic purposes. I am not at all experienced with handling lighting production, but one reason for that is the imposing complexity of the controls. (Here's an example: http://www.hstech.org/running/ltbd.JPG). Proper operation takes training, in-depth understanding, and, in the case of the light board noted above, a 4MB pdf manual. A light show could be fun, interactive, and collaborative. This project aims to create an interface that meets those possiblities.
Implementation
The main interface is based on a color wheel, most likely similar to the one seen in the attached PNG. The color wheel will be painted or otherwise attached to a glass sheet.
