Setting up a pingpong table means having to struggle with the net, but the 'Smart Net' aims to end this with a flexible design that also boasts the ability to keep score and display it neatly for all to see.
The LED-enabled table net displays scores neatly by keeping score via an infrared sensor that automatically detects the various plays that are performed in order to eliminate the need for players to actually keep score themselves.
The 'Smart Net' is simple to set up and take down, and can be brought with you anywhere to instantly turn any surface into a pingpong table for gameplay wherever and whenever you like. The 'Smart Net' is the design work of Kim Juyoung, Choi Chang and Prof. Baek Junghoon.
