Are you fascinating with the POV? If you did, then you have to stick your eyes on this article, as today’s you’ll learn how to develop a high-powered persistence of vision (POV)…

Oh, by the way, for those who didn’t know, Persistence of Vision or it also known as “POV” is the phenomenon of the eye, where even nanoseconds of exposure to an image result in milliseconds of reaction from the retina to the optic nerves. This situation is due on chemical transmission of nerve responses and this biochemical hysteresis is actually much slower than the light transmission!

For your information, there’s a story about POV called, “The myth of persistence of vision”, where it refers to the mistaken belief that human perception of motion is the final result of POV!

Technically, a visual form of memory, iconic memory has been described as the cause of this POV phenomemon.

For this high-powered POV project, an Atmel ATMega16 is used with an Atmel AVR Dragon. The most important step in this development is to make it turn around on a motor and calibrate itself automatically with the help from a base-placed IR-diod.

Hope you’ll have some good time with this high-powered POV project!
