Collecting our materials slowly
For our table, we’ve decided to use IR LEDs and modify a web cam to read the infrared signal. Rather than soldering over 100 LEDs, we opted for the more expensive and less time consuming LED Ribbon that you can buy over at Environmental Lights. They also have a handy guide to creating an FTIR table.
Our first step, after ordering the LEDs, was to mod a PS3 Eye camera.

It works!
With the successful modification of the PS3 Eye camera, all we had to do was wait for our shipment of LEDs to come a week later. I was perplexed when only one package, the LEDs, came, as two packages were listed on the shipping order. The DEEP Channel, to hold the LEDs, were missing.
The DEEP Channel came a few days later and I only recently was able to pick them up. I was surprised, to say the least. But at least we have all of our components now.
Thank god I have an SUV
