The Magic Music Table

On the website Instructablescom, which allows users to share what they make, user XenonJohn describes how he built the Magic Music Table. The device was designed to help a child with a disability who is unable to load and operate a CD player or use the small buttons and menus of mp3 players. The Magic Music Table connects an iPod to an Arduino, which tells the device to start playing a particular track based on a selection made with RFID cards. The RFID cards are each placed inside of a plastic case along with a picture of the album’s art. The Magic Music Table could benefit people with developmental or cognitive disabilities, poor dexterity, as well as older adults and the very young.
