News from PC Magazine: Philips Demos Digital Game Board

The new concept is that you combine the interaction that you normally have when you play a board game together with speeds and interactivity for electronic games," said Hans Driessen, a spokesperson for Philips. "We created the concept early this year and since then Philips has taken it into development."

The Entertaible has a 32-inch horizontal LCD, multi-touch and shape recognition technology, and PC-based control logic. It is a table-top unit that measures 10 centimeters in height with a platinum-colored border.

So Philips is following HP and Mitsubishi with smart table products. Also see there's a useful new blog on "The Future of Digital Tables".
