Maker Faire Rome 2024

"HappyShinyTable" V.3 (2024 edition, more LEDs!)

Home: Italy

A modified IKEA coffee table, whose unbreakable glass top rests on 3 load cells, thanks to which Arduino can know the precise position to the cm of an object placed on it and display it through a matrix of 800 addressable RGB LEDs. This allows for teaching (center of mass of multiple objects) and also for playing simple games (Tetris is available).
