We should have a LOC.
Stuff that we would need, in the vaguest possible sense
- Lights. Lots of them.
- Power. Lots of it.
- Networking. Lots of it.
- A big server.
- A tent.
- People.
And in a little bit more detail
- Light poles from OHM
- Somewhere to mount them
- A detailed site map with the location of every planned light pole
- Cat5 cable
- Switches
- Power cables
- A lighting VLAN
- A lighting control VLAN
- A server on both VLANs in the datacentre, powerful enough to run our proxy and some effects
- People to install the poles or whatever the lights are to be mounted on
- People to install, connect, waterproof and maintain the lights
- People to write lighting effects
- People who understand how the various components work and can document/explain them to people.
- A coordinator who can make sure all the calculations happen, the right kit is going to be available and who can get a team together.
Optional extras
- Phone integration
- Sanitised interface for general public to run lighting effects, or at least to have some degree of control.
- Presentation on how LOC works
- Easy remote control panel
- Automated mapping (GPS, webcam, OpenCV, etc)
- Automated pixel mapping (matrix displays, effects, etc)
- Live diagnostic display
- Map showing status of every device, fed from monitoring system
