Sandtable with a Kinect, ability to project map on it, making it simple to model desired terrain. link andy |

But you could add them. I've done the project down thing before. It was nice for having a blank terrain map with the option to put down and remove tactical overlays. Mounting the projector (and mirrors – I had it horizontal with one reflector) was the big pain … I wrote a routine to drag a box and calibrate the size. Meteor hits were a cool effect, I just wrote a routine to randomly distribute different size ones at different locations, and it drew overlays where they hit, then we rolled saves and damage. Also, I did a progressive fire, overlaying a burning fire mpeg on a broader and broader area per turn. |

Nifty. I'd work on a projection thing except for the cost of the hardware. If I were working with someone else's stuff … I like the idea with this system that the Kinect could help you shape to the intended landscape by highlighting what needs to be higher and lower. Sounds like it is a lot faster than it used to be, easier to check. andy |
