DSI Projector Coffee Table

This project is a coffee table of 17 inches tall, 42" diagonal 16:10 ratio table. The MT method used was Diffused Surface Illumination using Endlighten and LED Ribbon around all 4 sides. It utilized a short throw HD projector and a mirror to create a large projected image from less than 2 feet. I put a bit more fans on it than I ended up needed. There is a computer PS inside running a car stereo which is hooked up to the car speakers on the sides. The box was contructed out of MDF. The top layer (still to be applied) is composed up a clear piece of Mar Resistant acrylic which is held on my magnets which can easily be pulled off to service the inside of the table.

Parts Used:
Evonik Endlighten XXL
Evonik Rear Projection 7D512
Environmental Lights 850nm 390 LED Ribbon
Peau Productions Custom m12 Camera
Top Sheet: Evonik AR Resist (still to be applied)

Here is a test video of the table running:
