I’ve been working a lot on the table in the last couple weeks and have begun thinking about how this object will inform further experiments along these lines. More about that coming soon, but for now here are some pictures of the technical parts.

The idea is that foot pedals attached to the base of the table can allow people to rate their current experience of being at the table with others in a discrete way. The pedals are attached to potentiometers underneath the table and connect to an Arduino that drives the whole thing. Also controlled by the Arduino is an LED light strip that dims or brightens in relation to the aggregate group pedal ratings.
