USB Disco Dance Floor 357
pi42 writes "Some MIT students built this USB controlled disco dance floor for their dorm lounge. It was built in a week, has 1536 LEDs, 20,000 hand-soldered connections, and is capable of displaying 12-bit color. Check out videos and photos." You can even send the floor an email, though it might not write back.

Actually, I suppose maybe the lasers could go through bodies, but then you'd have other problems to deal with.

Amazing idea though, puts us lazy UK students to shame

This summer I'm making my own dance pad, A little googling on the subject will give you lots of good hits on people who have already done this.
If you want to detect ressure use FSR's, piezo's could also be used to detect velocity of strikes (the harder the strike the brighter the lights would be a neat effect).
Anyhow, just a few ideas for you.
