[QUOTE="grimjack2600, post: 5675638, member: 45309"] Hello Morrus. I'm the guy responsible for the technology in the multitouch tables that [URL="http://d20pro.com"]d20pro[/URL] was demoing. Figured I'd offer some details and news regarding the current state of the table post PAX Prime. The table is called [I]the Locus[/I] and is available from [URL="http://geekchichq.com"]Geek Chic[/URL] in either a 40-inch or 60-inch flavor. They are still working up the sales literature for the table so I thought I'd chime in with what I know from the technology end. First off, we've succeeded in getting the price tag down to a reasonable number. The 40-inch [I]Locus[/I] is priced at $4,250 while the 60-inch version is priced at $8,500. These are 12-touch devices with upgrade options to bring them both up to 32-touches ($4,850 and $9,250 respectively). The tables use 1080p (1920x1080) screens which can connect to any PC (Windows or Mac) with an open USB, for touch, and video out (HDMI preferred). Packaged with d20pro, the system is sufficiently capable "as is" for running d20 or 4e games. We are looking into several board game and video game options for including as part of the standard package. Currently d20pro does not know what to do with our multitouch events. This means that d20pro is operating on our table using mouse emulation -- effectively duo touch. MindGene has committed to introducing multitouch support for their virtual table software and my company will be shipping our touch screens with copies of d20pro currently. That being said, I've run [URL="http://rptools.net"]MapTools[/URL], [URL="http://www.fantasygrounds.com/"]Fanatsy Grounds[/URL] as well as [URL="http://d20pro.com"]d20pro[/URL] on our touch hardware without incident, purely in mouse emulation mode. d20pro has certainly been our performer which is one of the primary reasons we settled on this software as our primary focus. If there is interest, I may be able to convince my players to allow me to record an example session or two. I'll be posting more information on my [URL="http://mesamundi.com"]company's website[/URL] over the course of the next month (Sept. 2011). Additionally, I have various videos posted to [URL="http://www.youtube.com/user/grimjack2600?feature=mhee"]my youtube channel[/URL] for those interested in some low production quality multitouch content. Enjoy and happy gaming! Grimjack2600. [/QUOTE]
