"Tim Alex Jacobs' Ultimate LED Candle: A Volumetric Marvel of 3D POV Display"

TL;DR Summary
A maker known as mitxela has created a DIY LED candle that features a volumetric display, allowing it to look the same from any angle. The device utilizes an LED matrix board, electronics, an infrared sensor, a coin battery, and a CD drive motor. By making everything spin, including the battery, mitxela was able to create collapsing stars, pouring liquid, and candle flames. The prototype exceeded expectations, and future versions will include more LEDs and improved alignment. The project details, including source code, are available on mitxela's blog.
