Tetris in Real Life
(by Akinfiev Sergey)
Since its release from Soviet Russia in the early 80’s, Tetris has become firmly entrenched as one of the greatest computer games of all time. The symmetry, the strategy, the flashing, coloured bricks; frankly, it has everything a discerning gamer could possibly wish for.
Flash your retro credentials, and brighten up that minimalist apartment with this official Tetris Light that lets you redesign your desk lamp whenever you like. Simply connect one of the bricks to the mains and then as each new brick is placed into position they will light up through some kind of magical, pre-war 8-bit Russian science.*
Plus, during the day you can play a very short game of Tetris, although we’re almost certain that you won’t be able to form a perfect cube using every part.
*Electricity is not really magical, and strictly speaking, not Russian either.

We are three French students from Telecom ParisTech and did this project as part of our studies in mars/april 2011.
It is inspired from 2010 GLiP project.It’s a concept of small games and applications displayed on a dynamic block network using their 8×8 led matrix.
To interact with the network you can use each block as a remote by turning it at 180 degrees, then just choose the desired game, animation or music. When you want to replace the remote block into the network just turn it at 180 degrees again.
Possibilities are infinite: interactive chest, pong, and new game concepts…
