I found this that is essentially what I thought of the other day, bastards, always knick my ideas (One must admit that they had the idea months ago :D). I personally think that mine would be better though, because it looks like they are using modulated IR face up to detect when someone goes near it. Also, the pulse effect is shit. This means that 1, it looks shit, and 2 it only works with glass tables. How much more cool would it look with mine on a slightly opaque white/black/something table. And being controlled either by a small PIC (of course!) or directly with a few op amp tricks, would look loads better. More natural.
Would be a lot of work though. Would have to get the EFPD smaller/cheaper. Will definatly have to continue development, (even if my project guy does something), and maybe get a few built externally. Depends how complicated the circuit is.
