A Reactive Table w/ Addressable RGB LEDs (done @ WGV Factory)
This table was developed as a bespoke support to display products at expo shows.
Although it has the capability to seem like an 80's disco dance floor, it was decided that it would take very subtle behaviors and state changes.
Its main working state is two groups of randomly assigned LEDs fading on and off, where once the group that fades out, the LEDs that belong to that group are re-chosen. This way it creates an interesting and distinct, but underwelming, effect.
Although this wasn't implemented, it would be interesting to implement a simple state where the LEDs would follow the rules in Conway's Game of Life.
The table is also equipped with ultrasonic sensors on three of its sides, this way being able to react to the presence of a person.
The reaction is simple enough, as it would fade all the yellow LEDs down, and fade up a significant larger amount of LEDs, this time with a full white "color".
You can take a look at the (mostly uncommented) code here.
