LED spinning globe will dazzle you

We saw this project recently displayed at the "Evening at Maker Faire" event at the Saatchi Gallery in NYC, but here's a link on the production of this spinning 3D screen that can display both static and video imagery in 8 bit clarity. Really nice project, and lots of great info at the link below.

video?

It is hard to be dazzled without a video.
At the moment, it looks like a bunch of LEDs.

Am I missing something?
Where's the video?

No dazzling

This is a regular POV toy like 1000 you've seen before, no news here. Sometimes I have to strain my eyes to see that this is actually Make for real, not Gizmodo.
