Ubicom here we come

Just found this by accident; quite interesting though as it represents a entirely new way of interaction with a computer. I saw a table like this already when I visited i10 Informatik of RWTH Aachen a couple of months ago, but did not really think of it could be used in real life. This video gives some nice examples. Also I wonder how we could apply this to enhance learning and it would be nice to try out something like this in some kind of ubiquitous pedagogical scenario. So please Marcus, add one of these tables to my wanted list….

Dude, this news is *so* February 2007! But I still like that table :D

Me too, although I think a foosball table would be still more fun ;) Oh btw, for the MACE people I’m starting to practice for next meeting so I can beat you with even more stunning “tactics”

I’m also waiting impatiently for the new Brothers in Arms game.

Ah! Coincidentally I just worked on something like that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nshndB5cxCM

Yes, this is shameless self-promotion, I know :)
And: Nice new design, Tim!

Nice Till! Do you still have access to such a table? Like I said it would be nice to have a look at educational applications of such a table, would also fit into the mobile/ubiquitous research I’m currently doing at OUNL; so would be nice to hear some details, maybe we could discuss a bit further on this!
