It is called Wixel, and why Wixel?

According to Blendid, Wixels are Wireless Pixels that exist in physical space. They are round objects hanging and change the colour that can be controlled wirelessly. It will result something like magical that floats in the deep dark room and dynamically shift to different color.

How it works?

Using Blender(an open source 3D rendering software) along with Python (a new scripting language) and openFrameworks to develop control software.

Isn't that cool, store it in your room and let it glow.
