Lightly touch the scale of the wall . Scales like water ripples spread out.

Interaction: Each nodes had touch sensors can make lighting effects. When your body are near, activate the lights. The light like ripples spread out.The background system can define active pictures， You can play interactive games.Many people will activate many ripples spread out.When the ripples collided,they will disappear. Dragon scale system also can play video.Background control system can play video in realtime based on RJ45 network.The owner of dragon scale can use it perform advertisements to increase revenue.
