Coming Soon: The 27-Inch Table-top Tablet

I only post this for one reason: the role-playing game possibilities.

I mean, that's the important thing.

Yes, for only $1700, you can have a tablet that projects the image of high-definition terrain that you can move your lead miniatures around over. And you can swap out one map for another in two seconds.

Of course 27 inches is too small for a big battlefield. That's wouldn't be a but a dungeon room or three.

But soon they'll do a 50 inch one, and then, we'll be all set.

For now, they're planning air-hockey games (with little shunts to block the virtual puck with) and some kind of tactical shooting game. I guess boardgames like Monopoly and Risk can be easily ported over, though I don't now if I see the big advantage.
