Research is the background work we keep so we can find it again. Each topic has its own folder in Dropbox, such as Material Music, vvvv, 3D printing, AI, streaming and point clouds.
For us: Some topics are bigger internal projects that improve the studio or may become work of their own. They are listed below.

What we have
LED screens
Status: active.
Notes on LED strips and LED walls: supplier offers, domes, Huidu controllers (small boxes that drive LED screens) and a media timer. It feeds what we buy and build. See also LED screens.
Hanging the LED frames
Status: active. Nothing bought or built yet.
How to hang our LED frames in the gallery like pictures: from a rail near the ceiling on thin steel cables. Each frame is about 60 x 100 cm, weighs 20 kg and needs power. The repo suggests a click rail for walls and beams, a heavy-duty rail for the ceiling and power from the existing 3-phase track. It also lists open questions for suppliers.

Selling engine
Status: paused.
An idea for our own shop and payment engine, to sell Origin Infinite products online. The folder has a vision document (October 2024), product images, research on 3D product configurators and a 2026 study on payment. Jan Henrik has more material that is not saved here yet. No shop is built from it yet.
