This table is the property of the department for Design, Computer Science and Media (DCSM) of the Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences, which provided me with the money for the components of the Virttable. (Actually, we had student fees for a short time in Hessen/Germany. From a part of these student fees the Virttable has been built. Thank you, dear students!!! There’s no cent of public money in the Virttable.) The computer that I have used in the Virttable is my Mac Mini. The Virttable (Versatile Illumination Touch Table) The main goals for the Virttable have been… The first point has been achieved: The whole setup did cost around 2000 Euro.

Quote: With a 30-inch screen, Surface will initially sell for between $5,000 and $10,000 (£2,525-£5,050). That's a bit expensive for me. I'm sure the price will drop in a few years at which point I will be (literally) all over it. The DIY option would be cheaper, the things you need are 1: a projector 2: a computer 3: a camera with a WDM driver 4: some infra red lighting (so it's out of the spectral range of the lightshow) 5: the table I guess cost depends to a large degree on whether you have a few items already.
