Philips reveals more Entertaible deets, screens

Philips reported yesterday that their prototype touch-screen horizontal gaming environment (dubbed "Entertaible") is ready for "market testing" which, according to these high-resolution photos, looks like it might be a lot of fun. Features include:

  • ability to be internet-enabled for multiplayer games and larger tournaments
  • digital shape recognition (recognizes objects based on the shape of their footprint)
  • tabletop senses multiple touches at once
  • 32-inch horizontal LCD
  • embedded sound
  • ability to attract lots of goofy, toothy white people

If some of these were installed at the local pub, and if there were some good games on it, and if the social lubricant were flowing freely (that's a lot of ifs!), gaming might break from the basement to bars, and that'd be neat.
