PhotonicBliss was recently contracted by our friends at Octa Products, to make an interactive LED table for their CES product launch last week.
The task was to create an LED installation which would draw people in to their tradeshow booth and simultaneously feature their product (an innovative suction-based iPad/tablet. What was birthed as a result was a galactic LED representation of the Octa logo with negative pressure sensors embedded into it to measure the suction created by Octas suction docks which would create beautiful pulses of light in response the how much pressure was being created by their product.
The piece was constructed using extruded plexiglass tubing custom cut and sandblasted to elegantly diffuse the independently controllable LED lighting. The top of the table was a gorgeous piece of 3/4″ clear acrylic CNC machined out to fit the tubes, and a CNC milled mirror acrylic base which would reflect the lighting and allowing anyone looking into the table to be able to see their reflection.
The following is a quick video of the table lighting in action (more coming soon!)
