[infosthetics @ EPFL] a light-emitting meeting table that monitors specific aspects of cverbal onversations (e.g. amount of time spent on topics or the relative amount of time a person talks) captured via directional microphones & that displays a real-time visual feedback of the conversation state using arrays of colored LED lights.
beneath the frosted-glass surface of the table, an electronic circuit board with 128 individually-addressable multi-color LEDs provides a low-resolution visual display. the "Reflect" table aims to encourage to collaborators to participate in a more balanced manner, without providing precise suggestions on what to do next.
