How so? What are you thinking about? It's CPU is good, but still only an ARM. In this demo, each of the Zombies and People are fully animated models with hundreds of polygons, with GPU-based skinning, etc. Keep in mind that we're just doing simple, straight OpenGL, with not a ton of optimizations, and it's running at higher frame rates. Also, this is a tech demo, on a pre-release, so things like the Camera drivers are likely not optimized, etc. Higher capabilities? How so? What are you thinking about?

Thumbs up for that game and the new technology of Nvidia Tegra. One greeting. Wow, amazing. Thumbs up for that game and the new technology of Nvidia Tegra.

I mean I see how it is being used and it does look interesting, but WHY would I would to point a device at something on my table to then see stuff happening on the device?!? Why not play the game inside the device 100% ?! What is the use of playboard on the table and the combination of both?! Okay call me a bit lazy but I just don’t get it.

That's just one possibility, but what this could lead to would turn the Playstation 3 into a relic.

Supposedly the hardware is going to be in it. Camera with video support, Compass, which knows its position in 360 degrees, up down side ways etc...(sure there not just called a compass). Plus it has GPS, so in theory you could get games implemented like those shown on the gadget show in the UK. gonna be very very cool, if it gets implemented in the next generation iphone.

Since you can move it around "naturally", you get then focus your mental and physical effort on control other aspects of the game. Only part of what you see is "virtual" -- you are still seeing the physical gameboard, which gives you a kind of "grounding" in the world that makes it easy to think and play in the larger world (not just on the small screen).
