What we already thought would be a fun trip turned out to be so much more: the love and enthusiasm of the exhibitors, attendees and Maker Faire Rome’s team for innovation, education, and general celebration of the maker movement was awe-inspiring. There is so much to see that a single year in attendance is not enough, so if you ever get the opportunity, head to this show, soak in the sea of inventions, and make some great friends along the way.

Shiny Happy Table (superficie sensibile al peso con triangolazione e feedback luminoso)
It's a modified IKEA table with a sensitive glass surface that can sense the weight of an object and give a feedback using RGB LED under the glass, right on the spot where an object (or a hand) is placed. It uses a triangulation algorithm that read data from three load cells on which the glass surface is placed. All is controlled by an Arduino and it's opensource.
