A student project at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment and Technology center have completed the 4th iteration of their Dungeons and Dragons Microsoft Surface game, and it looks like alot of fun. The game’s structure is that there is a Dungeon Master who is the game leader and he is in control of the monster team, and the players up to 4 of them are in control of the heros.
The game uses a combination of RFID tagged figurines that the represent the monsters and heros, and a heads up display facing each of the 4 corners, plus, users can bring up menus around their figurine to cast spells and attack or whatnot. The game shows off the communal possibilities of large format touch screens like the Microsoft Surface.
