My AWESOME GAME TABLE.

It basically is a game table with a projector on the inside that bounces an image off a mirror and onto a frosted Plexi-Glass table surface which acts essentially like a 3ft x 3ft. computer monitor. The projector gets the image from my laptop which uses a software called D20Pro. D20Pro is a Virtual TableTop that is generally used by people who want to play a vareity of Paper-and-Pencil RPG's via the internet. Nice little piece of software. (www.D20pro.com) I personally use D20Pro just for projecting Battlemaps onto the game table.

I also use a software called Blue Soleil which allows my laptop to recognize a Wii-Mote that acts like a signal reciever for an infra-Red pen. the infra-red pen acts like a mouse after I use Smartboard. Smartboard is a software that allows the game tables monitor surface to be mapped out in a manipulatable area where the infra-red pen can be used.

It sounds difficult but its really quite easy. (This coming from a guy who is somewhat computer literate.)


You can get most of these softwares for free but I suggest paying for them so you get all the needed updates and the softwares are wayyyy easier to use in thier non-demo form.

I am looking to doing something similar - what is over all dimensions of the table? Does it sit 5 players well?

You can sit 7 people......I always like to leave an entire side of the table for the DM.

I use D20Pro.......Aesthetically it has more to offer and functionally it has way more potential than other virtual tabletops.

well done. I've been demoing multitouch game tables at PAX and GenCon for the last year, and I really like your build and technique.
Are you using MaptTools, D20pro? etc?
