Future of board games?

Hi:
I just had to share this. Not sure how to provide the link but here it goes.

Unbelievable and poetic irony that I don't know how to use the technology to make a simple link.

Great link James.

Before watching, I was guessing this was one of two things, the iPad/iPhone Settlers of Catan:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-6_x_8-B_0 or one of the older "games" video I saw on the Surface platform (can't find the link now).

A good thing about Surface is that it doesn't have to cost $12K. A smart developer, John Lee, has developed a cheaper way to do it:

This cheaper technology (especially the 3D tracking he is doing) will revolutionize console gaming. I believe the EA has plans for a new 3D game based on the head-tracking method coming out this fall.
