"We've always said, the more Pong the better, so we're the last folks you'll find knocking Moritz Waldemeyer for upping the ante (quite literally) on the previous iterations. Utilizing a fancy Corian-based table, the savvy designer incorporated a series of "LEDs and touchpad sensors" into the otherwise plainly-styled piece of furniture in order to provide a fresh rendition of a heralded classic."

I was amazed when I found this, because 'Pong' is one of worlds most famous games, which never gets boring or old and can be played by anyone. It's great to see old games being re-made and capturing a whole new audience with the latest version. The concept of bringing something old back up to date can be used in design and especially in multimedia, you always see old films getting remade so to create a new animation or motion graphics piece using something from the past could be a great idea for a self directed project
