I'm having a flash-forward to a game-and-pizza party I'm hosting in 2020, where we sit down around my dinner table and turn the entire surface on into this mode.

Top down invaders makes a comeback! I approve. Looks like a nice adaption of the card games you see in arcades that read barcodes and project images.

Thing is I usually bitch and moan about the state of gaming and how people recycle things and try and say it is the next big thing with a bunch of demo games and fail to actually find a suitable use for the technology. Result? Usually the fad wears off and the standard controller remains the status quo. THIS is something I can think of multiple uses for, and board games would work very well. I can also see stuff like Rome Total War, Age of Empires and other RTS games working very well with it. So yeah - I approve :)

I'm particularly impressed with the little glassy bits you can roll over your hidden-hand to show you what the cards are.

The kind of game for which this would be particularly good is things like Dominion, where mechanical aspects (the large amount of shuffling) take up a significant portion of the game time. Another game like that is Tantrix - spotting whether you can-and-must fill a forced space or not is an operation best performed by computer.
