Two fiber-optic devices are suspended on either side of a pedestal containing a projector. The projector cast images of the devices in use.

The figure is encircled in beams and threads of light, which is generated from fiber-optic devices on their hands.

Rear view of the projector and suspended fiber-optic devices.
The device includes a battery-powered Arduino secured on EMS pads. LED lights and fiber optic cable are embedded in borosilicate tubes mounted on a glass upper knuckle ring. The cables pass through four top knuckle rings, with which the wearer can manipulate the movement of the light.
