Nice legs! This is a genius idea and I had no idea that they could be easily integrated into Home Assistant. Adding the overhead projector to bring your work directly to the table was superb! I'm a bit concerned that I'd spend a long period staring directly down at the surface and end up with a sore neck, but nothing the odd break or change of focus couldn't help to avoid I guess... the problem will be remembering once I get carried away in my flow at the table.
Thanks Chris - well I must say looking at the table is much more natural than looking up at a monitor, but remember you can easily adjust the table too! I'll keep you posted on long term use!
Hello, I got up this morning. I'm thinking, what the heck could be so clever? Well, you're brilliant, and it never ceases to amaze me. I'm in the process of downsizing my living space, and your table idea is spectacular. Thank you
Thanks Eddy! Oh that'd be an amazing way to use it, if you think about it every piece of paper, every plan, everything could be put through this. Even board games - take a quick top down photo of a Monopoly board, Chessboard and all your others and you can just project it when you need it! You could literally have 100,00 board games and it'd take up no more space!! Well worth trying!
I love your channel! You're so creative and resourceful. I've learned so much from your videos, and I'm always inspired by your projects. Keep up the great work 🎉
AAAHHH! I can't believe I didn't even mention the cool little feature this projector has - it detects when things are obstructing the projected area and it automatically moves and shrinks the screen to fit whatever area is free. It's very neat as you can just drop things on the table to work on and it moves the image to somewhere free!! But I have to say in my defence, since reorganising the room with my organisational system, this table has remained pretty clear (which is a huge sign of success given how messy I am!!!)
@@handsonkatie that's a pretty impressive feature all by itself! Is that something the project does all on its own, or it a little help from Katie's engineering?
I had exactly the same thought actually!!! You can get things as messy as you want without ruining a screen! You could even lay out things like icing patterns and correct sizes for doughballs on the surface!!
Add a top down view camera - with OpenCV backend (computer vision) and then you could enable hand tracking/gesture control. Also you could have context sensitive physical objects - either with QR codes on or again computer vision, recognise them and change your virtual workspace depending on the task at hand. Bring in the sewing machine to view for example, and it automatically launches the sewing patterns app workspace ;)
I was going to say I'm looking at IR sensors to do the same until your last sentence.... genius idea for interface shifting!! I might copy that for another project I'm going to use this concept in!! Great thinking!! 🥰🥰
I’ve watched a few of your videos and seen some of your ideas. Quite a few were clever, but not earth-shattering. Until now. This… is pure genius. What an amazing idea. The possibilities really are endless. And it can be accomplished at a very reasonable cost. Very impressed. Nice work! ❤😁
Goodness! Your home is any tech nerd's heaven! I only have one question about the projector: how about the noise? Is it silent enough? I also know for having used them in the past they radiate much heat, so how about the average consumption for daily use? (that's a one-off error indeed.) Other than that a foot pedal for the flexispot would be nice when both hands are busy. I haven't seen any on the interwebs but I only skimmed through...
Yes, the projector really isn't that noisy at all - think they're all pretty good these days. Foot pedal is an interesting idea - this would be easy enough through home assistant
Before you dropped this video today, I was actually planning out an idea I had of building a top for an E7 table which contained the computer itself inside of it, and in the middle of the table would be a large touchscreen monitor for doing artwork and writing! (As it's adjustable, it doesn't really matter how thick the tabletop is as long as there is space in the centre for my legs if it is going very low) Anyhoo, mindblown, and you're bloody living my dream life! 🤯😂 As a side note, you seem to have so much stuff and built so much, maybe you can tell in a video how you got started with everything? It would be intriguing to know... Especially for people who have very little to start off with and want to get to be in your position. 👍
Hey Simon - I actually did exactly that years and years ago in my first house. It worked nicely, but it's far less flexible than a projector as you say! I'm definitely going to do a 'behind the scenes' background to my making at some point - probably as a Patreon/TH-cam Member video, so that might help explain my madness!
@@handsonkatie I was actually considering not using the monitor directly, but just the digitiser with gorilla glass on top recessed into 24mm veneered Ply for uber stability. It could be better than a projector in certain circumstances, but I can definitely see a projector being much better for projects such as the ones you used as examples like projecting over clothes etc. You've definitely given me food for thought though. 🤔😁 And if I may be so bold in saying, a video of how you started out might be better served for all to see, as people who want inspiration may not be able to fully afford a Patreon/member subscription. But definitely, videos of behind the scenes madness should be that extra member content. 👍😵💫🤓😂 And who knows, maybe the story of how you got started could be a free overview leading to a series on your member section of videos showing the step by step approaches you took. 🤷😁
@@simonspoke Hey Simon - yes that's exactly what I did, you need to be careful though - I think I burnt my monitor out after a year or two as the glass naturally traps heat right near the surface, so it may ultimately lead to damage if facing upwards! There's definitely ways around this (probably a small air gap and some fans blowing across this would fix, but as you say a projector has lots of advantages anyway! Re a 'starting out video' - what I meant was I'd show this first to Patreons and then release more broadly at a later date (I think this is only fair for all the amazing Patreons who have been supporting me on my mad journey learning to make videos and things!)
@@handsonkatie Great advice re. the monitor, I didn't think of heating issues, as I assumed it would be a large enough area for the heat to still dissipate upward with the digitiser contacting the glass directly like a tablet or something. Hmmmmm, have to think about that one... Maybe lots of small thin channels grooved behind the digitiser for air to flow through... Thanks Katie. Although I did wonder, if you wanted to move your table in the future, how much of a hassle is it for you to reposition the projector? And of course if it's first up on patreon and then released later to everyone, yeah, that's great. I thought you were talking about exclusive content that wouldn't be seen in any other way... My bad. I'm loving your "mad" journey though, it's awesome. 😁👍
@@simonspoke yes, I didn't think of that either until too late, so you might as well learn from my silliness!! 😂 Moving the projector is basically two screws - I made a 3d printed mount for it, so they just went into a beam, so I can easily move around if I fancied!
Awesome idea with the projector! I'd be too scared mounting a heavy, (slightly) vibrating, and heat producting machine overhead with an FDM part, but then again, I am a chemist without intuition for fatigue and creep. Did you calculate loads and resistance or just over-engineered by feel?
Oh goodness, the 3d print is designed for waaaay more than this would ever need - probably an order of magnitude more than required. Likewise no issue with heat or vibrations as I used the official mounting point (with screw fitting). I wouldn't worry about FDM, it is surprisingly strong for most things!
Ah great point - have added to the description!! Here's the link: mvpplaceholder.com/ It's an early prototype and is being developed every week, so could develop into something pretty cool!
Hi Katie! How do you manage to keep the grid scaling consistent when the table is at different heights? Doesn't the perspective difference mess with the measurements?
Yes! I actually have just got a set standard height for the measurement (as I couldn't think of a burning reason I'd need to measure at different heights!), but you could solve in two obvious ways. 1) just scale the image according to the height settings you choose or 2) create scaled images for your height settings. It's super quick to do as you can just multiply your grid by the difference in measurement to get the precise amount. So I'll do this if I ever need to! A third way would be to use the projector zoom, but I'd need to test how precise this is - the Flexispot table is extremely precise in it's height settings - which is great!
Very cool idea regarding the projector and I love the energy you put on your videos. Do you mind sharing more details about the projector & mounting ? (unless this is going to be a future video?)
Of course, here's the projector: amzn.to/4815O48 And I'll upload the little 3d printed projector mount that I made to my site today/tomorrow so you can see!
I'm a bit sceptical how practical the table-screen is for anything else besides crafting, but in general there were quite some cool ideas in this video.
Oh it's designed for a craft table, so that's how I'll use it, but it's brilliant for just watching videos/TV and more - for the cost, it's super effective!
For your computer desktop, were you using the ironing mat, the rhino mat or something else? And does the mouse move and track well on it? Been looking for a computer desk mat and I wouldn't mind having something doing double or triple duty. Thanks for another great video and lots of ideas.
I've got a rhino mat as the base layer and then I have big silicone mats that are great for anything involving heat, these work brilliantly as mouse mats too!!
Briliant! Quick question: For the grid projections and similar, where you need the projected grid to be dimensionally accurate, do you have to put a scale on the table and adjust the zoom to suit each time or have you come up with something smarter?
No, the Flexispot is really good in this regard as you can save heights really precisely. So I basically just created a grid, projected it and then held a ruler up to this. This gave me the simple maths ratio to adjust my grid size on the PC to be perfectly accurate - so very basically if my 10cm grid was actually 11cm in real life, then I needed to scale down 10% to be spot on! Once this is done, my table and PC grids become permanently aligned and I know that 200px on my PC will always equal 20cm in real life (just making up example numbers for simplicity!)
You're absolutely right, it was an odd time where MS were inventing brilliant devices (Surface, Kinect etc) and were somehow screwing them up!! I'm actually musing turning this into a touch table if I think it would be handy!
When I was at Indiana University for grad school back in 2004 there were a bunch of people playing around with similar projection onto table concepts as well. One of the more unique things they were doing at the time was using RFID readers + chips embedded in physical objects to let you place and move around virtual representations of them. (From what I remember they were using multiple readers to triangulate the exact position) Just imagine doing things like gridfinity layout if each object you set down was manufactured with an RFID chip that contained a url pointing to metadata about the product. Think of how cool it would be if that included a 3d model of the object (or at least enough identifying information for you to link up with a community maintained archive of 3d scans).
Uuuh this would require some coding with image recognition, but I'm picturing a game of Carcassone where once you place your tile it gets displayed and you can toss it away. No more placing a tile and moving the entire board! No more soda spills!
If you attach a camera above the table you could start to benefit from augmented reality where you can combine and interact with physical and virtual things displayed in the same space. Just a thought.
I am curious: do you adjust the dimensions of the images sensitive to scale every time you change the height of the desk or do you have a smarter approach? 🙂 Similarly, does the projector require adjusting the lens with every desk adjustment?
Nope, I was super surprised for the price, but this projector auto focuses whenever you move it and adjusts keystone also! Then I can just set the table to the height I want and it'll remember every time
This is the great thing about this projector - it connects by Wifi 6 to any PC, laptop, mobile or tablet (it also does bluetooth), so I can use any PC I fancy. I just use my PC in the next room and it can duplicate it's screen onto the projector. This means I simply turn the projector on and it'll show whatever is on my screen!
Very cool idea! I'm guessing the projected image doesn't fully come into its right in the video, due to ambient lighting and the color grading - but in real life, this could look stunning. An improvement could be to use a black projector screen rather than a traditional white. This comes with a range of benefits, mainly from increased contrast, color depth and better sharpness/definition along with less glares and reflections. The drawback however, is if you have a lot of ambient light due to reduction of overall brightness. A more powerful projector remedies this somewhat, but no matter what, a black screen will always produce darker results than a white, so it's a tradeoff.
Yes, I was annoyed at my lack of video skills in this as the projected image is clear as day in the brightest light, there's absolutely no issue with visibility in any condition. Colours are great too - just doesn't come across in the video as I mentioned. I'm super impressed at how far these projectors have come, it does auto focus, auto keystone adjustment and more - given it's only projecting 1.5m or so, I guess it's not a surprise how bright the image is, but it works super cool! I've also got a range of different colour mats anyway that I use for different projects, so I tested those, but the normal light grey one worked brilliantly!
I've updated the description with a link to this surface, I've had it for years, but it's super cool - really tough, self-healing, stain resistant and more, so I use it for pretty much anything!!
You're amazing!!! How on Earth did you manage to spot that, I tweaked about 20 seconds after uploading!! Amazing!! Fixed almost straight away BTW, I was just updating as Flexispot actually had some special discount codes I wanted to add!!
I would love to see you create a video about your time machine. And don't tell me you don't have one. I'm sure you do. How else can you find the time to do all the cool things you're showing us and still have time to spare to play games.

An improvement could be to use a black projector screen rather than a traditional white.

Of course, description updated!: amzn.to/4815O48
Beware the QR Codes. Scammers can gain access tour bank Account. Dear Katie, I haven't seen this video yet, but I know that it'll be great!
Hi. What projector do you use?
Hey, I've updated the description, this was the projector I used: amzn.to/4815O48
Oof, you forgot to use capton tape in your intro for your heat gun. Did that project work out?
Yes, it worked out fine! I was bodging it a bit (I'm a sloppy engineer and I'd run out of Kapton!! 😂😂)
4:02 - you mention a perfectly sized healing top - it looks like you’re cutting and pressing all on one surface? What is this magic??
I've updated the description with a link to this surface, I've had it for years, but it's super cool - really tough, self-healing, stain resistant and more, so I use it for pretty much anything!!
Need to add a camera on the ceiling and you can do a Jarvis assistant
A lot of [INSERT LINK} still in the description
You're amazing!!! How on Earth did you manage to spot that, I tweaked about 20 seconds after uploading!! Amazing!! Fixed almost straight away BTW, I was just updating as Flexispot actually had some special discount codes I wanted to add!!
I would love to see you create a video about your time machine. And don't tell me you don't have one. I'm sure you do. How else can you find the time to do all the cool things you're showing us and still have time to spare to play games.
Heheh! I've actually got a draft of a video about that - I'll cover it at some point, hyper-automation is the key....!
The projector link does not work. Also where can you get table in europe ?
Hey, just checked and both work for me? Are you getting an error? I've asked for UK/Euro links from Flexispot, so I'll update shortly!
@@handsonkatie no just a blank page on projector. thanks look forward to other links as well.
@@handsonkatie just trying the projector link again, it works without your affiliate information in it. (removing everything after the product id )
@@esrider7765 how strange!! Thanks for the detail, I'll raise with Flexispot!
Ohm Sweet Ohm lol
For some reason I get completely distracted when your videos are playing.
