You can also find something like this in Las Vegas, in the MGM Grand Hotel, almost near the CBS Store

There's a couple of different games it cycles through. One has fish. There's one with bubbles.

This device can be found in singapore. Malls and train stations have them. There are some effects really cool, like water waves happening as you walk over, and kicking the balls around.

They have it in Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne, PA; halfway between Philladelphia, PA and Trenton, NJ.

You don't need to go to South Korea for these kinda things, and while they don't say so above, it seems implied and thats not any better.

they have one of these in the staten island mall, the worst mall in the history of malls... they put it in the middle of a busy intersection too, and there are always little kids running around it, knocking into people.

Yeah, they used to have one at Lowes Theater in Freehold, NJ. It's really nothing special. Your shadow really gets in the way.

I've been to the COEX Mall in Seoul and I actually interacted with this very same "machine". Gets old after about 5 seconds.

Didn't Nick Arcade use this type of tech. for those final round challenges? Or am I just mixing things up?

The MIT Museum has that old labyrinth game (the wooden maze that you rotate to move a marble to the end) on that type of interface. Tried it out once when I was up there, definately difficult to pull off quick turns when you have to jump around. An old roommate of mine tells me it's a lot of fun when to play drunk.

I stayed at the hotel attached to the COEX Mall just this summer. They had dozens of them throughout the mall. They'd rotate ads with different interactive games, but most people tended to ignore them. Every so often I'd see children or a couple messing around with them.
