Put these guys in Star Trek uniforms change the office background to Engineering on the ST: TNG series Enterprise then make the base of the table look more futuristic and you see where they got their inspiration for this idea.

Looks like one of those old-school table arcade games from the 80s. Oh yeah, that gives me an idea. Put some pacman and pong apps on it and put it in the office.

Similar to MS Surface.

350 pounds? What the heck did they build into that thing?

MASSIVELY INTERACTIVE PRON!!!

on a more serious note... *ahem*

hang that sucker on a wall, and good god i can see the uses for companies like game devs, replace the whiteboard with that, and you instantly can call up anything project related to a idea bubble with like a hyper link.

example - skyrim is a good choice cause of how big it is, you have the dragon concept art, animation file, animation demo, tech demo, all scrollable in a sub menu that functions on a tags system. Lets say that you have a question on the old board about interaction and styling, with this you could pull up all the current info from the departments @ a meeting and show an active splice of what you think would work, pull animations, character AI and make your pitch

i can see this having great developmental potential

Table hockey anyone?

looks like a laid down version of multi-touch all-in-one pc or microsoft's tabletop pc. and 52" for 1080p is a bit too big (less ppi).

 

[ojas]

nice idea, plus no underpowered hardware. though how on earth is this a "tablet"? It's a huge monitor with proper desktop hardware in a table dammit. Call it what it is?

was wondering the same thing...should have been a higher res, especially since it's intended for close quarters use.

More like iPad crusher.

If I hear the word "tablet" one more time I'm going to SCREAMMMMM!

 

[memadmax]

WHY...... are they calling it a tablet?

It's a table, with a screen, and a puter....

 

[Guest]

Yeah, ok, blah blah blah etc. The million dollar question is:

Can it run Crysis?! (Trollolo!!!)

 

[jivdis1x]

MS has these thing on display at the MS store. NOT a tablet, AIO with touchscreen.

[hetneo]

Microsoft failed with this concept, I don't think that NEC will succeed in marketing it. There just is no demand for this type of devices.

 

[doyletdude]

They should have waited for windows 8 to market this, as according to MS, 8 will have much more tablet and touchscreen native features.

 

[iam2thecrowe]

does it come with MAME games?

 

[back_by_demand]

They have these as tables in the cocktail lounge at the Rio in Vegas, and the people sat round them are a LOT more fun

 

[Guest]

Can it Play Crysis !! ?

 

[gallovfc]

Seems ok for Dungeons & Dragons 3D and other table games.

 

[alyoshka]

160 Kg??? With the whole mounting thing on wheels??? That's still a damn heavy rig.... putting a 52in display with an i7 liquid cooled rig in a heavy or the heaviest case might not add up to more than 50 kgs, I wonder why theirs got so heavy.

Too tempting to set my drink on top...then spilling it when I reach to click on an icon.
