Nova Badge [MAX]
A glowing, programmable convention badge.
// animated con badges
Most con badges are a picture. Ours is a 5″ colour screen for your own animated art - with consent cards everyone can read, and a battery you swap instead of charge.

You're fresh at ten, overheating by four and out of social battery by the evening. The badge follows that - and you change it in three taps without taking anything off.
Any GIF or video you own - or a still. Crop it square with your finger and send it to the badge. Tap the screen and people get a QR code for your Telegram, Bluesky or website.
18 ready-made cards plus 4 you word yourself, in the red / amber / green / blue colour code the community already knows. Switch them right on the badge, in suit.
The battery slides onto the back - no screws, no cable. Up to 20 h on Standard, up to 40 h on MAX. Carry a second pack and never hunt for a socket.
The badge opens its own Wi-Fi. Scan the QR code and the setup page opens in your phone's browser - iPhone or Android, no account needed.

Enough for a full con day, and light on your neck.
A whole weekend on one pack, or a long day at maximum brightness.
Both packs have their own charge board with over-discharge protection and charge from any USB-C charger. The badge also runs straight from a USB-C power bank.

No. Tap Setup on the badge and it opens its own Wi-Fi network. Point your phone camera at the QR code and the setup page opens by itself - works in any phone browser, iPhone or Android. No account, no cloud.
With auto-dimming on, up to 20 hours with the Standard pack (4000 mAh) and up to 40 hours with MAX (10000 mAh). At full brightness it's about 14 and 28 hours. After a few idle minutes the screen steps down, and any touch brings it straight back.
Yes. You switch which consent cards are showing directly on the badge, without your phone. You can also save a whole look - art, colours, cards - as a persona and switch between personas on the badge.
The assembled and tested badge, a battery pack in your chosen size with its own charge board, one pair of interchangeable colour side rails of your choice, a preloaded microSD card so it works out of the box, and a quick start card.
Enter your serial number in the device lookup. You can flash the latest release straight from the browser over USB-C (Chrome or Edge on a computer), or download the file.
The screen boards and batteries come from a supplier with warehouses in Europe; parts of them are produced in China. Here in Austria we flash our own software, fit everything into our in-house 3D printed parts and pack it in durable, environmentally friendly packaging before it ships to you.
