The arduino screen only fills the very center of my vision, so I can still see most of my surroundings but the lack of peripheral vision is an issue I plan to fix. I walked around with it on my forehead to be safe.

I programmed the screen animations by adapting a demo from the Adafruit TFT library. the library is on their website, it's required for my modified demo code which is linked below.

This tool makes creating LED arrays easy, and uses common resistors: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz
