I wrote up info in my blog about the digital game table and it got press here:

That's pretty cool. Nice demo on the table and MT.

One of the comments cracked me up.

why don't you guys just play WOW?

Because "just" is the correct description

"... has created what may be the most amazing gaming table in history"

Grats man ! Great publicity for your table

Thanks Tyren, for pioneering this movement!

You have me so fired up that I too have been making pens and building projector mockups.

You mentioned wax paper and then some film for the top - in my mockup, I was very surprised how well a thin white bed sheet worked too. I was able to read stuff without problem. I have not tested any other materials yet so I will definately be visiting the crafts store (if I am lucky enough to have a similar setup).

Great job and thanks!

Here was my discussion:

There is film media for plotters that might work well. I had a partial roll of some and it was partially translucent plastic that was glossy on one side and rough (like paper) on the other side.

That's a great idea, phergus!
I work for a contractor so I am sure I can snag some vellum or film from the cad department!
