The presentation was done in honor of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the world wide web. During the opening ceremony, these ‘pixel’ tablets lit up to generate video images that ran around the entire seating grid of the oval Olympic Stadium, one of which was a live tweet by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, “This is for everyone #london2012 #oneweb #openingceremony@webfoundation @w3c“.

Come to think of it, this actually could make the Guinness World Records as the largest Human Video Screen………..
