Playing D&D on Microsoft Surface

When Microsoft first unveiled their Surface Project I thought, like so many, “Nice toy but what will it actually be used for?”. Well I just came across a nice Video of a Project by Carnegie Mellon University playing D&D on Surface. I’m a huge fan of RPGs and this ranges among the coolest accessories I’ve ever seen:

While looking around on their site I also found an older Walkthrough Video of the system which explains a bit more on how it works:

I hope the Project stays alive and hopefully RPG producers jump on the train too. Only thing I’d change is the rolling of the dice, I just love having real dice to roll instead of virtual dices.

Oh and do a Das Schwarze Auge and Shadowrun version, please

Thanks CrunchGear for pointing this out.

    Is this the smart table? Teachers in my town are using this to teach children applications. D&D would be awesome on this!

    This is often a pretty decent weblog. I’ve been back many times during the last seven days and wish to register for your rss making use of Google but find it difficult to work out the right way to do it very well. Would you know of any sort of instructions?
