What's an interactive LED coffee table? (Funny you should ask....) It's a coffee table that has hundreds of LEDs in the top surface that respond to motion above the table. We have (finally) put together a movie to give you a better idea of how they respond to their environment. You can see the movie on YouTube or watch it embedded:
The complete tables are for sale from Because We Can, our partners in design on this project. There are presently two models, The Ripple (left) and The Wave (right):
Since we first showed these off, we have had a lot of inquiries about how you can make your own table like this. We are now producing (very large) electronic soldering kits so that you indeed can make your own.
Our kits include the giant printed circuit boards, components, instructions, regulated power supply, and all other parts needed to build the electronic portion of the table tops. Constructed, you end up with what essentially amounts to a single extra-ginormous circuit board that can sit underneath the clear or frosted glass (or plastic) top of your own table.

It's nice to see the tables in action. I have been curious as to how they look while operating. Nice work, Windell.

I've coveted these forever, but we had a coffee table, and they were too expensive. We've found a home for our coffee table, so now I'm rethinking. Is size the only difference between the Ripple and the Wave - not the behaviour? (I feel like I'm discussing condoms, for some reason)
