This is a picture of The Plaza del Torico in Tereul, Spain. It was recently renovated and 1230 color changing LED lamps were embedded in the pavement. The system can be programmed to change colors and patterns in sequence. While it may look like an eyesore to some, this is a big step in bringing a historical part of Europe into the Modern Age. This is one of the most important plazas in Spain, including a festival in the spring where they parade bulls through the street, with this plaza being the highlight. Now they have a chance to sync the lights up to the rhythm of the music they're playing and make it look more festive than ever. You can see the same thing in some amusement parks, light-up paths. There's also the roads that play music when you drive over them. How long will it be until we get a holographic projection to leap out of the pavement to scare you? Technology is advancing rapidly and becoming a staple in even the oldest locations. It's a good thing we have great designers to put these technologies to use.
