We know how people are crazy to make their vehicles
customized till their limit of wish. Putting radium stickers, Lights etc on
rims of the wheels are the thing of the past.Every time, They try with new
accessories. But the trend would definitely change that you would figure out
after reading this post.
This
is the new accessory in the world is about to hit the new market a tyre upgrade
known as ‘wheelies’.This will show Video, Animations, Images and Text in a LED screen. This LED tyre upgrade
is developed by Bangkok based company
worldmoto having three products in its portfolio namely YES, MOTOMETER and WHELLIES.This will
turn your motorbike into running LED screen with static image.worldmoto has
designed and made this LED screen such that image remains static even if tyre
rotates at higher revolution.
Mr.
Paul Giles, CEO of World Moto says, "The technology has the potential to
turn essentially any wheel in the world into a brilliant, full-color billboard
or video screen. It gives their bike a face sort of avatar.”
You must me wondering the
secret behind this wheelies. It's based on persistence of vision which involves creating
an illusion of motion by moving still images at high speeds. In real, the
images do move along the tyre but when they're made to stream at this fast
speed, they happen to appear static and hence, the display remains constant. The
wheelie has 424 LED lights which are fixed on the eight spoke wheel and
controlled by a computer that caters for the wheel’s speed and the position of
each spoke during movement.
Watch video of Wheelies "Even Bigger Thing"
In this video,Girls prefer to go with a guy who has
fitted wheelies in his vehicle rather
than simple guy who drives without wheelies.How amusing it is!
The
gadget has been exhibited at Sign Asia Expo and its expected price is somewhere
near $1,000 which entirely depends on the size of the wheel.
World
Moto’s Chief Technology Officer, Chris Ziomkowski said; ‘You have to track the
where the wheel is at any given time and have to know the exact position of
each blade. Then you have to light the LEDs based on what you want the picture
to be, and you have to do that very fast.’
He
also told that the idea of wheelie came to his mind thanks to the light-sabers
in Star Wars film and the scene where it was spun in the air.
