Title: D&D for Microsoft Surface...for you Czar
Post by: decepticon on October 20, 2009, 07:25:39 AM: The "Surfacescapes" team at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University has created a proof-of-concept demonstration using Microsoft's Surface technology and the tabletop version of Dungeons and Dragons. The 3:24 video shows how the idea works by using virtual dice, scalable maps, and physical miniatures.

These guys are at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, not too far away. Perhaps we give them a personal invite to a certain event we have coming up in the near future?
