Launching on Kickstarter — November 2026

An arcade on your wall.

It plays retro classics. It runs your code. It lights up your setup.

CURIO LED is a wall-mounted 64×64 RGB LED matrix: 64×64 = 4,096 pixels of real, chunky, glowing pixel art on an ESP32 with Wi-Fi, controlled from your phone or your own code. The panel below isn't a video. It's the real firmware demo running in your browser.

A 64 by 64 grid of glowing LED dots inside a dark aluminium bezel. It rotates self-playing Pong, Snake and Breakout. Links further down the page switch it to code demos (a bar chart, a sine wave, a countdown and Conway's Life) or to plasma shaders and an animated aquarium.

Mod it

4,096 pixels to mod.

An ESP32 with Wi-Fi and an open API means it does what you tell it. Push scores, timers, alerts and live data from your own scripts over MQTT, run your own animations, or put your gamertag up in lights. Never coded before? Simple scripts make it a great first project.

Setup lighting

The centerpiece of your setup.

When you're not playing, it's still the best thing on your wall: pixel art and sprites, generative shaders, an animated aquarium, music-reactive light via Spotify, and AI. Describe a scene in plain language and the panel renders it.
