Overview

POV stands for Persistance Of Vision. Have you ever seen those fans that display the time when they spin? Thats an example. Our eyes can only see so much at once, and because of the speed of rotation, we are tricked into seeing a big picture. In actuality, there is only 1 row of lights, changing super rapidly to correctly display the picture.

Now, Imaging instead of a fan, the lights are on a bike wheel. The spin of the bikewheel is what creates the illusion. Naturally, this does create a few challanges to overcome, but this proved to be a fun project.
