Caption CERN Contest Week 16

Week 16: 5/20/2015 - 9pm PDT 5/27/2015

This is not your Father's POV display! Scientists at CERN have came up with some amazing science advancements. They've also needed ways to display the data they collect. This image may depict some incredible new way to display data collected on from a high power physics experiment - or it could be a scientist's project for the CERN science fair. We may never know.

The album is titled CHAMBRE A ETINCELLES DANS EXPO TECHNOL, which roughly translates to "Sparks in the technology expo room". The lines traveling between the three horizontal display devices definitely appear to be aligned. Are they sparks of electricity? You tell us!

Last week's prize was a Logic Pirate. This week we're giving away a Bus Pirate from The Hackaday Store.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

Its Kanamit again, something about serving man.

38 million later, and Roger still can't get the pong paddle to track.

Just a few more tweaks here and there and I will finally be able to play Space Invaders on this beauty!

Is it just me, or does this image remind anyone of the command deck from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"?

Are you sure? yes | no

Binary, hexadecimal; child's play. Now the world see my
masterpiece; Romaryadecimal: Binary Roman Numeral Hex Code.

No one at CERN had the heart to tell Boris that no one really enjoyed reading raw binary data off blinkenlights anymore.

Are you sure? yes | no

Before Arduino you needed a whole room full of equipment to blink LEDs!

Are you sure? yes | no

Carl doesn't understand why no one appreciates his cutting edge "BCD-to-Roman Numeral" display.

Are you sure? yes | no

"Hang on, let me fix the vert-hold, and then get ready for a most RIGHTEOUS game of 3D PONG!"

Sadly, this CERN spinoff never made it to the market.

Are you sure? yes | no

DJ Cern brought his personal light display to study the D.i.s.c.o. effect of a spherical multi-mirrored light diffuser.

Are you sure? yes | no
