8seg is an experimental textual display. It is made from a 45m by 1.5m large lacework banner that can be put up in a
variety of spaces, conforming to the space's size and shape through bending and folding.
8seg is currently being set up at 37C3 in the entrance hall, on the second-floor railing in front of Hall X.
By popular request, you can find 3D models for the printable parts of the power supply enclosures here
