DeLighTable: Touch-Sensitive Glow Table

The "DeLighTable" started as an art project but can now be commissioned for your living room for only $2,300—a fair chunk of change for home furniture, perhaps, but not outlandish for a bar or other public area where a fully waterproof, touch-sensitive, light-reactive table might entice customers to buy more drinks to light up.

Born Rich has a video of the prototype in action. Looks fun, if simple.

seems pretty low-tech. There are those childrens toy boards for kids who cant be trusted with markers that use the same concept: colorful background, layer of black goo, layer of clear plastic.

could one survive a cigarette being put out on it?

Is this digital, or is it just black goop between to layers, on top of a light table?

I could make this using a vacuum sealer, some soy sauce, and a box with lights.

Booooooooooring.
