Grayscale as Displacement: The "Zero-Programming" Gospel
Spectrum’s creative logic requires no coding. Designers simply create a black-and-white "Height Map" in After Effects:
Pure Black represents the 0% position (static/rest).
Pure White represents the 100% position (maximum 200mm physical stroke).
Grayscale values correspond to precise percentage displacements. This visualization allows teams to focus entirely on artistic composition rather than technical execution.
TouchDesigner Support: Unleashing Interactive Possibilities
For artists seeking ultimate interactivity, the Spectrum ecosystem extends beyond After Effects:
TouchDesigner Integration: Supports real-time interactive content, enabling installations to react to Face ID sensors, wind speed sensors, or audience movements.
MShow Platform: Provides a simplified creation platform for non-professional designers, allowing for rapid deployment through a PPT-like interface.
Precision Control: Mapping Pixels to Motors
Every display module corresponds to a precision linear motor drive. By configuring grid pixels to match motion unit resolutions (such as 48x48 pixels per unit for the 160 series), designers can control the "breathing" rhythm of every physical axis. This creates a physical 3D experience that transcends traditional 2D limitations.
