Combined with a decent pair of 3D goggles, I'll bet it could be made into a really sweet 3D, interactive version of Magic: The Gathering... where you see an ever-changing landscape between you and your opponent on the table, and every time you put a card into play, there's a visual spell effect, or creature appearing, or the landscape changes (if you add land for instance), or something like that. I'm sure if a webcam can be used to ID specific markers like those cards, they can be modified to see more complex cards, at least eventually.
Of course, that's all fantasy, since there's no such thing as a "decent pair of 3D goggles."... There'll probably be Ghost In The Shell-style cyber/ocular implants before anyone ever makes a decent set...
