| The Digital Palette (1999) is a hand-held, infrared remote control device that contains five physical pixels, made of mixing red, green and blue light-emitting diodes, which can be used to program the color or color animation for other physical pixels. The color of the palette pixels can be adjusted using a knob that maps to a value on a wheel of 256 discrete hues. An artist selects from among the five palette pixels using direct touch, just like a Nami orb or a Peano cube. |

| The Digital palette can be used to mix static colors, or to program animated sequences called chromanimation. For a more complete description of the Digital Palette, please refer to my Master's Thesis. The anatomy of the Digital Palette is illustrated below. |
