Engineers at AMIV in Zurich have created a massive 2m persistence of vision display for a party at the high-voltage lab, with blade tips travelling at 140MPH.

why not have it above you aiming down to put images on the ground and people, this way it doubles as a fan to keep people cool while they are dancing around, help with the whole sweat factor lol.

I always wondered why this technology couldn't be used to make cheap displays. Get a thin strip of OLED's or some other expensive display technology, apply to blade, spin

you could put it in a glass case and put on a mild vacuum to reduce the noise/ friction

I know some company made these things for wheels that could display color video and they have them for bicycle tires that can display animated images
