You love to do or see something bizarre, such as those things that can glow in the dark? However, you don’t know how to figure out the ways to develop it? Well, get ready now, as you’re having the chance to build a fantastic ghostmatrix!

Maybe this ghostmatrix isn’t the most useful tool that you have ever built, but it could be one of the coolest gadgets of all! Go figure, with the combination of a MiniPOV, some simple UV LEDs, a cnc rig and some glow in the dark paper, it immediately turns into a device that glows in the dark!

Basically, the ghostmatrix is using the concept, where it’s a light printer that uses an array of UV LEDs mechanically scanned across phosphorescent paper and leave a matrix of glowing dots.

For developing this project, you might consider to use the latest MiniPOV kit, as it is a very simple POV toy, which suitable for beginners who are looking to learn, especially to solder or programming microcontroller.

For your information, the phosphorescent paper is Grafix “Funky glow in the Dark” and the lightpipes can be found on the web easily.
