Here's a cool (mostly) 3D-printed realization of a similar concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcAEqbYwixU The author just released the mechanical assembly as .step file (https://github.com/AncientJames/VortexParts), and plans on releasing the firmware in the near future. And yes, it can run Doom!

Very cool! Do you know what LED matrix it is? I am trying to estimate the BOM cost.

It says that in the README:

"The frame holds two P1.875 128x64 LED panels"

P1.875 refers to the pitch (distance between LEDs), seems to be a standard HUB75 panel.

Oh, I see - I should have looked up P1.875. Thanks!
