There is not actually much new about this awesome DIY project, but it is the way it brings a number of the parts together that has us impressed. Designed by Instructables user XenonJohn, with help from software developer David Findlay, the Magic Music Table RFID was designed to let a disable child (or other such handicapped user) select albums to play back from an iPod touch playlist. The iPod is hooked up to an Arduino , which tells the device to begin playing a distinctive track in line with an expansion made with RFID cards. The entire setup is built right into a coffee table and the RFID tags are sandwiched inside clear plastic blocks with the album art. You’ll discover it in action within the video after the break and, if you have the patience and talent, you could build your individual using the directions on the source link.
