I would like to see an entirely LED dependent version. LEDs might have also been used for a trackpad. I’m just spitballin’ since they can sense reflected light as well as emit light.

maybe a High Molecular Density plastic on the surface
(looks white at a 16th of an inch thick, and an LED would make it through when lit) and some tri-color LEDs would make it worth while. if you have the time and money... but you could use an LED based multi-touch interface and a small form factor PC to make it into a giant iphone analog.

Lovely!

And, 2400 LEDS? Wow… my first thought would be to try this with an LCD projector in the ceiling – more versatile and you could do color for other games.

I wonder if you can see the LEDs through the table if you look closely enough.

Doesn’t the table need a full LED matrix in the middle to display all possible ball positions? This would mean it could also show images.

This would be great alternative for my new kitchen counter.
