Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger


DJs Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, AKA Daft Punk, wear awesome, LED-animated robot helmets every time they perform and nearly every time they are photographed or filmed. I was curious about where those helmets come from - after a quick Google search I found that they were designed by a company called LED Effects. LED Effects, who has also produced lighting for various Disney park attractions (Pirates of the Caribbean!) and light-as-art installations around the world, has a PDF write-up on their site about the design of the helmets.

Oh, and if you've got the digital love they can build a Daft Punk robot helmet for you too...for $65,000 plus copyright permission from Daft Punk!
