# Gamer Dining Tables Pong Table By Gabriela Aizcorbe | Published 2008-06-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pong-table References: [gabrielaaizcorbe.blogspot](http://www.gabrielaaizcorbe.blogspot.com) & [uk.news.yahoo](http://uk.news.yahoo.com/techdigest/20080529/ttc-led-pong-table-hours-of-after-dinner-e870a33.html) Moritz Waldemeyer, the designer of the Pong Table, used 2,400 LEDS and two track pads to turn a white Corian table into a [digital gaming board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table). The table re-creates the classic game introduced by [Atari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-gamestation) in 1972. Also neat is that with the flick of a switch, the game turns off, allowing you to use the surface for an uninterrupted meal. It was part of the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit at the [MoMA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rs4-home-x-hey-foosball-table) in NYC.
