Interactive Proximity Sensing Table Modules, Infrared Sensors

[yz125krm]

Is there anyway that you can increase the ir sensitivity to more that a foot to like 15 foot

[xasdrubalex]

i've stared 20 minutes to this video just to recognize "black hole sun", what's wrong with me?

is that a string quartet version?

btw nice work!

[zoly19]

please send me the skematycs if you wonth. tanks

[ellarpc]

What type of ir sensors did you use and where did you get them? I think something like that would be great for a lighted dance floor

[niksa141]

schematics??

[Af1d3]

You gotta make a how-to video!

[olesmity87]

what you should do is create a 6ft x 1ft wide version and put at the bottom of a sliding door on a deck and increase the sensor range to about 8ft. making it the most coolest security light for a deck at night. This is really cool bro keep making em.

that's awesome!, would love to do the lighting in my house with something like this lol lights go on and off as i walk from one room into the other, XD

[emulsifier72]

WOW thats totally awesome , imagine how awesome that would look as walls on a hallway !!!

[cooperrockss]

this looks fantastic, i had a few questions, what program do you use for the chip code? how much does it cost to make one 8x8 square? how much time did it take you to make an 8x8 square?

[alexgeekcouk]

Wonder if this works for black people.

[stramel89]

if a spherical ball is thrown across the board do the lights go off in accordance to the path the ball took or does it reflect into different ways?

[UncheckedIrony]

best coffee table ever

[artem1kuchin]

Hmm. what if you add some UV leds there too? UV might reflect from the things which IR does not reflect from.

[rbland]

Amazing. I might give something like this a go, but use analog circuitry. If you could make these these table sized and thin to sit on a table, I'm sure there would be a big market for it. I personally would turn the sensitivity down a bit for changes in brightness though, so that you have a bit more control at different heights lower towards the table. Good work!! Amazing stuff :D

Seems like pretty hungry wallet there. it eats up even IR.

Really cool project.

[CliffShep]

I wonder if ghost hunters could use this?

I think that this would be helpful and I know that ghosts would love it.

[llahiru]

Very nice!

[lotheriel79]

Very awesome! I want 10 gazillion of them!

[S7guitar]

now you just have to make a hundred and use them as your floor. that would be awesome

[AFateSoTwisted]

That's really awesome ! Are you going to make it into a table, wall art ....??

[grahmaustin]

@AFateSoTwisted

I am making more of these so I can have an entire coffee table. I will post another video the new build, whenever I finish

[Jcaleb91]

Very Cool!

Looking at the Instructable for it right now!

About how much did it cost in materials? I know you said that it took a lot of time. :)

Thanks for sharing!

[erasorhed]

Does your table work well with playing cards?

[fabiuh991]

waaw

[a2sidedcoin]

IS that symphonic Black Hole Sun in the background?? lol AWESOME Instructable and design!

[grahmaustin]

Thank you!

[totalembarrasment]

thats awesome

[ohsnap8186]

it should be in hexagon modules

[wickedlasers]

very nice idea and implementation! =]

I guess your wallet simply lacks reflective properties. It is after all black and does look quite matte. I take it that simply altering the sensitivity was not a success for this issue?

[grahmaustin]

@wickedlasers

I could alter it a bit, but its still going to be a problem no matter what since, as you correctly point out, black and matte does not reflect light well, period.
