I don't see why Warcraft III would be so great with this anyway.]]>Mar 27th 2006 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://grouplab.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/tabletop/ also, we have written papers about using speech and gesture on a tabletop for games at http://grouplab.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/papers/2006/06-MultimodalTable-AVI-Tse/06-MultimodalTable-AVI-Tse.pdf

Actually, this reminds me of something: in Tokyo's Akihabara Sega arcade, they had these wild realtime games that have large tables in front of a screen. The players use special collectable playing cards with some sort of embedded chip or magnetic ID to lay out and attack with their forces. You can watch them lay out their deck of cards on the table, then as the battle begins, they start grabbing them and rubbing them on the table in fast circular and linear motions. I can't imagine trying to learn how to play without speaking Japanese, but I assume it's still pretty complicated to learn in that environment even if you do speak the language. Anyone know the name of these games?]]>Mar 27th 2006 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 27th 2006 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 27th 2006 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 27th 2006 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 28th 2006 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 28th 2006 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 28th 2006 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 28th 2006 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Was it not possible to go with a bottom-up projection approach? That way my hand wouldn't get in the way of the projection. It would also prevent the project from having to be mounted overhead.

I suppose it would require some alterations in the touch panel.]]>Mar 28th 2006 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Mar 28th 2006 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/Apr 8th 2006 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/mitsubishi-randd-rocks-warcraft-iii-with-new-diamondtouch-table/http://www.world-of-warcraft-strategy.com/Warcraft-III-Demo.php]]>May 8th 2007 4:09AM
