PROJECT DESCRIPTION

With the mission of designing an entertainment machine that will be as interesting to design as it is to use, this project is an electronic table that will allow the users to play beer pong with the assistance of intelligent lighting. This lighting, created by a LED panel across the table surface, will show the player when and where scores are made, track the game score, and dance to any music that is playing. This project has its roots in the optics half of our team, as elements of it have already been practiced by Matthew Brislenn, one of our CREOL members. Our wish is to capitalize on the optics specialties within our team to come up with novel solutions to the problems of game automation. Beer pong is already a very simple game that is enhanced by modifications made by the players, so further enhancement via the game automation principles and atmospheric conditions created by this table will elevate this simple party game to a new form of entertainment.
