While waiting for the rail in vegas, we saw this digital koi pond on the floor. Dismissing it as another marketing gimmick we didn’t give it much attention. That is until I started to walk across it. When I put my foot down on the image, the floor ‘rippled’. Shocked, I pulled my foot back and looked again. Is it an LCD screen? Did I break it? Why would they leave it out in the open like that? Then I took a few more steps and watched the image dissove in ripples. Afterall, if they didn’t want people to step on it, they would’ve put something up right?

Looking around, we soon realized that it was a projection and we were doing no harm other than looking stupid, stepping on and off the projection whenever the image returned to it’s original state.

The projection then changed to an ad with a beach ball. Jae walked over to it and ‘kicked’ it. The beach ball flew and bounced around the screen to my side and I had to block it. The system kept score for us and we played until our ride came.

Pretty cool, even better than the wii. I couldn’t stop thinking about it all night.
