Dungeons & Dragons Surface

Blog - gaming

  I have never got round to playing the table top version of an RPG like Dungeons & Dragons, but even I could be turned if this ever gets onto the market that my pocket could afford, I think it apeals to my "all things tech" side and rpg's that I love..   Maybe by the time Samuel or even  Ryan likes the idea it will be at a price I could afford .

  video of it in action after the break.......

  "Microsoft's multi-touch Surface table may not seem like an efficient use of one's cash, but if this Dungeons & Dragons demo from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University moves beyond "proof of concept" we'll start considering a purchase.
As clearly noted in the below video, this is a work in progress tech demo from a sextet of CMU students that touches on some of the more superficial, but supercool, portions of running a D&D campaign on one of the world's more expensive monitors. (And, for the record, one of those students is the creator of the previously Kotaku featured The Science of the Mushroom Kingdom, so nerd respect up.)
Doubtful that I'll reignite my fleeting elementary school passion in playing a tabletop RPG or be able to afford a Microsoft Surface unit any time soon, but a cool application regardless."
