Entertaible concept
It's only a concept right now, but it would be great to see these start hitting the market. It's basically a 30-inch touchscreen LCD monitor that you can play board games on. Now I'm not really excited to hit a local bar and play Monopoly any time soon, but you have to think people could come up with some very interesting games to play.
From the Philips press release:
The Entertaible concept is a tabletop gaming platform that marries traditional multi-player board and computer games in a uniquely simple and intuitive way. Entertaible comprises a 32-inch horizontal LCD, sophisticated touch screen-based multi-object position detection, and all supporting control electronics. It allows the players to engage in a new class of electronic games which combines the features of computer gaming, such as dynamic playing fields and gaming levels, with the social interaction and tangible playing pieces, such as pawns and dies, of traditional board games.
Initially targeting social gaming away from home in locations such as pubs, bars, hotels or restaurants, Entertaible has the potential to evolve into a gaming platform for the consumer market.
