I have been plugging ViewingDale with its hardware accelerated pan and zoom mapping for over a year and there has been scant interest. You can have all that about having your map with grids and monsters on it. It has dynamic character sheets and the dice app rolls 3D dice with physics interactions (That bit is free try it right now !). I actually thought that the videos showed quite a lot of lag on the movement of the simulated photos, and I did not see smooth zoom into those maps at all.And I am not the only one. Many other of the virtual table tops are creating software that do exactly what this does only you don't get it with the touch panels. Splitting this technology up into the hardware and the software, the hardware has existed for years as a specialist item but the software you can have right now for a  few bucks custom made for RPG gaming with all of the art to boot !This table is neat and of course I want one, but it would not give me anything that I cannot do right now except that it would have to be done with a vertical monitor and a mouse.And Ashram Bayle - you seriously need to look at some VTT's<a href="http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=pic_page8" target="_blank">http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=pic_page8</a></blockquote>
