https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/painting-a-christmas-... - I created a little system to 'paint' my Christmas tree using these addressable LEDs.

The tree could be wrapped with the LED strips then the position of the LEDs was obtained using a camera (as they pulse out an ID).

I then created a little Flask app, that ran on the same Raspberry Pi which controlled the LED strips, which let people paint the tree via a website.

That's cool! And reminds me I'd like to see something like http://wry.me/hacking/moirexmas.html on a real Christmas tree.
