Wait a minute, Nintendo used this in the Zelda booth at E3. Remember those pictures of fish going round on the floor?

Holy crap! It's as if the floor is a huge touch screen. If this would be the Revo's final secret, I wonder how the hell they're going to do this.

maybe the blue light around the disc slot is actually a mini projector and the images on the floor will be emitted by it. that would be cool, obviously not true though.

just a stupid thought which wont work. maybe theres a projector in the rev that goes straight into your eyes, this then goes into your brain, and you feel imersed into the game, like it will feel 4D. hehe stupid idea

Oh good grief, stop with the 4D crap already! Current games are 3D models viewed on a 2D screen, if you get into holography/projection systems of some kind it's still only 3D graphics, just experienced in 3D. Just because it's no longer viewed on a TV screen doesn't suddenly add another dimension on top.

OK, for starters that floor is created by a projector from a ceiling, there are then motion detectors that can tell where there are "obstructions" and create suitable responses in the projection. That makes a possible touch sensitive LCD floorplate a little bit of a reach, which is what some people are most likely thinking of, it would seem. It does make an interesting concept, though, if that was what Nintendo were aiming for.
