LED Table glows when touched

May 15th 2007 11:55
This is a pretty cool table. It lights the place that is touched. However, it's not very usable.

First of all, there's water all over it. Since the LED's light is transfered onto the table through water, you can't avoid getting wet every time you touch it. Secondly, I don't think it will be as cool without transparent things, since they won't glow more than a bit around their bottom.

Maybe you can let a fish in there and it'll swim around glowing. Now that would be something completely different and really special. At least for us.

You're right - this is VERY funky but completely impractical!? I think the best thing about it is probably the name - LIGHTABLE

Hey Jay,

Exactly... Hard to do stuff on water...

Lightable is smart indeed. Light-table & Light-able.

Cheers,

peeker

You need to sort out your categories - they shouldn't all hang to the right of each other in the menu on the left.

If you go to the Modify Categories page you need to click the Left Arrow button on each one so they line up as sub-categories of the Categories item.

If that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll sort it out for you

Jay,

I'm glad you care!

Actually though, I made the categories that way with purpose. I think it looks more "alive". I know it might imply they're subcategories to each other but it breaks the straight line of links.

I think

I even got praise for it by Dusk over here. Soon everybody will do it

Take care bud,

peeker

Ah okay - I thought it was an error!? Clearly your eye for design is greater than mine

Well, I don't wear 2-inch thick glasses for no reason. At least when I'm writing or making sites.

LOL

I'd also like to congratulate you on organising your categories this way - a welcome change from the regular format! )

P.S. Lightable looks like nice, impractical fun.
