OVERVIEW

This project is a virtual display of low power consumption with very few hardware components and at minimum cost.The main aim of this project is to create a virtual display of low power consumption with very few hardware components and at minimum cost.
It works on a simple principle which is the Persistence of Vision (POV). The phenomenon is related to the vision capability of the human eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately 1/16th of a second.
The propeller is subjected to rotate above 200rpm to obtain a virtual display. It consists mainly of a set of LEDs, a micro-controller(Arduino Nano) to synchronize the switching on and off of the LEDs at precise time intervals, a Hall sensor, and a motor that will spin the LEDs at a high speed. So, if someone is observing the images at a rate of 16 images per second, then they appear to be continuous.
