They also offer a mulit point vertical version. This company is so far aheead of the game, that they have another interactive solution that is driven by your eyes.

Let's just assume that the price will come down over time (eventually it will - remember when bulky mobile phones were $1,000+?) and we will all have a surface table in our homes. Here are a couple of additional ideas what people could do with it: - Having Casino nights with friends playing Roulette, Black Jack etc. - Putting together Jigsaw puzzles from their own photos - Playing table soccer and pool billiard - solving the control issue for these games will be an interesting challenge for the software developers! - Going on an around the world trip - there is a big world map and people can select countries/cities/locations they want to learn more about which will then be introduced with pictures, movies etc. - Being a hip hop DJ standing a full sized turn tables and doing the good old scratching thing - Creating songs with a "music machine" (virtual keyboard, drums and editing screens) I am sure there are many more once you get started!

If you have a group try to play the ghosts game (if it is installed), you have to collaborate to untangle the ghosts whiel stopping them from floating away. Getting these into Museums is a no brainer. Unfortunatly with the change in the US dollar its closer to double that price tag now.
