Do not want! Poker is one of those "away from the screen" events that I enjoy...

Do not want. I love touching teh cards, not some greasy screen, and looking at someone's stack, playing with the chips. Nah, this table would be like going to a baseball game and staring at the JumboTron all night.

I think its awful cool though, even if I would miss holding the cards.

Yes, I agree there's nothing like the feeling of cards and chips. That said, imagine how much more poker per hour you could play!!

You can play more poker per hour on the Internet, too! You could just get ten of your friends around a table with laptops and play online poker (together or separately). I think computer assistance for board/table/card gaming is possible and promising, but I don't think this is how to do it. (My own dreams have been tokens marked in a way that overhead cameras can easily pick them up, and a projector showing auxiliary information and directions on the table as the physical bits move.)

Dan, have you seen Eye of Judgment for the PS3? It uses cards with barcodes and a camera. There's no projector, but the video from the camera is shown on screen with 3D overlays. http://youtube.com/watch...

You can try one out live in Las Vegas at the Excalibur now.
