My final project idea is based on a smart coffee table, the table will have an infinity mirror at the top which will comprise of mirrors and an LED strip that is built from scratch with its controller. The legs of the coffee table will also have power outlets for charging phones, laptops and other devices.
The Idea for this table came about when i noticed in many house holds power outlets are either at specific walls of the living room while the sitiing arrangement is different therefore cables run all over when someone wants to charge any device this creates room for accidents easily as one can trip, or plug out a cable forcefully when they trip and either damage the device or the cable.
The solution of using the coffee table as an interactive power outlet is because many living rooms have their chairs arranged in a manner to surround the coffee table at the center therefore if each leag of the coffe table had a power outlet and the coffee table had only one cable to the power outlets at the wall chances of accidents are drastically reduced within the household.
Distributing the power outlets will also prevent congestion at the source.
The sketch of the final project is as follows:
The greater part of the fabrication will involve computer controlled machining using the CNC while the power outlets will be fabricated using a variety of techniques from 3D printing to Laser Cutting of various materials.
