Remote Gaming Table - Illumishare
Found this today... looks like a great tool for shared tabletop gaming.

With gaming in Hawaii, players fall into one (on rare ccasion both) of two categories: locals (Hawaii born or raised with strong roots here) and military (on deployment in Hawaii). We get along really well for the most part...except that the military players innevitably redeploy and leave the locals behind feeling very sad. So we end up with strong ties to people scatterred to the wind. My gaming group has tried to keep in touch with our wayward friends by remote gaming via Skype and webcams, but that is only so-so as an interraction medium. There is nothing like being there in person...but this tech looks like it is getting closer to bridging the gap.
Now it just needs a Kickstarter! :D
