That was pretty nice...I liked the one where he placed the paper down, and the music video started playing

Reminds me of that projected keyboard they showed on Fresh Gear awhile ago.

I liked the whole presentation. Iterestiong that the objects he throw down that then looked like the car and space ship were like slammers (remember pogs?).

When I went to new orleans last year they had something like that.

Wait, at the Columbus Circle in Manhattan I remember something like that. Where outside at night, some projector would do things, and people would walk in. REAL LIFE SIMS. I did it like 2 weeks ago.

it is really neat.
I also like how it detected the paper and played the video on it

but its kind of useless from a gaming standpoint.
your hand (input device) blocks the projection
also it's a horizontal surface rather than a vertical one--I never was much of a cocktail gamer, I guess.
If we saw an entire projection we'd see the lighting problems with 90degree projections like that.

still it shows that somebody over there is experimenting with alternative user interfaces--I just wish I could think of *anybody* who could make use of this technology. But you're right, you could play a $40,000 game of air hocky or monopoly with it...too bad it doesn't really add anything to those experiences.
