I've wanted to build a LED cube [1] for a while, but just haven't had the time to get to it yet. This is basically a virtual version of the same thing, very cool. And significantly simpler to experiment with before committing to several days of soldering.

Blatant self promotion, but my friend and I just launched an LED cube kit on Kickstarter [1] which you might be interested in (no soldering). It's just the outermost LEDs on three sides, but the idea is similar, you create all sorts of animations in just a few lines of Python, e.g. use 4D noise to create a digital lava lamp effect etc. Also every component exposes a REST endpoint, so you can use other languages too.

Wow, what a cool idea!
