BlinkM Interactive Coffee Table- The “Deke”
A partnership with Because We Can to produce a interactive coffee table that is capable of displaying millions of colors.
Materials: 3/8 acrylic, FSC Cert. Europly, 25 BlinkMs, Arduino Platform, IDC Connectors. (All electronics RoHS compliant)
This is a prototype of an Interactive Coffee Table from Coactlab.com and becausewecan.org The electronics are done by Coactlab and the furniture by Because We Can.
The table seen below will ship with distance sensors to provide input for selecting modes and defining colors on the table.
The table will be available for sale, along with another side table, through Because We Can when we get in the next shipment of BlinkMs sometime in May!


Here’s the table at IDEO Quickie called Creative Play

Hei amazing work. I’d like to put one of those in my flat.
Anyway, since you are playing with blinkms, you might be interested in this project, leading to an oper source firmware for blinkm.
