Two DIY high-tech cards you will love to give and receive

Why give out ordinary business cards and wedding invitations when you can impress people with cards that showcase your circuitry skills?

Electrical engineer Jay Kickliter thought of creating an interactive business card for an upcoming job fair. His card lights up whenever it’s touched and has a low-power mode that prolongs battery life. Design and implementation took two weeks. Pretty cool and attention grabbing.

Jay is sharing the card’s source code, design files, and schematics over at his Web site.

Meanwhile, as part of Bill Porter and his fiancee Mara’s ultimate geek wedding, they made circuit board wedding invitations that light up and blink a Morse code message.

Futuristic sports court via LED and glass flooring

ASB GlassFloor for a futuristic Tron-like sports court

The ASB GlassFloor from the German company ASB Systembau can be used to transform indoor or outdoor settings into different sports courts. LED lights underneath the glass give the flooring a Tron-like vibe and these lights can be programmed to display different line formations, as well as scoreboards and ads.

The floor surface is specially-treated to prevent direct reflections that can distract or blind the players. Burnt-in ceramic dots control friction to achieve the friction values of conventional sports floors and provide anti-slip protection.

With the ASB GlassFloor, an area can be easily and instantly converted into a tennis court, volleyball court, handball court, basketball court or badminton court. The lines can also be made invisible, so the large room will not have to be stuck looking like a sports hall and can thus be used for other events.

Here is the demo video for the special flooring:
