Our project is to design and build a functional coffee table with an LED matrix display surface on which we can implement the game Tetris. With the use of motion sensors placed on the sides of the table, we implement hand gesture recognition technology to enable the user to move, drop, and rotate the Tetris pieces. The LEDs are controlled with PIC microcontrollers and have light diffusion films above them for a warm glow for each square.

LED Cube

Featured Project

LED technology is more advanced and much more efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs and as such our team decided we wanted to build a device related to LEDs. An LED cube is inherently aesthetically pleasing and ours will be capable of displaying 3D animations and lighting patterns with much increased complexity compared to any 2D display of comparable resolution. Environmental interaction will also be able to control the various lighting effects on the cube. Although our plan is for a visually pleasing cube, our implementation can easily be adapted for more practical applications such as displaying 3D models.
