Panasonic's 103-inch plasma repurposed as multitouch air hockey table

With VIZIO and Pioneer jumping out of the plasma game, we can totally foresee sales of Panasonic's 103-inch PDP skyrocketing. All kidding aside, a startup arcade would be ludicrous to not shove one of these into the center of the action. What you're looking at above is a mutltitouch air hockey table, made possible by Panny's ginormous plasma and a U-Touch overlay from uicentric. The table was on display over in Amsterdam at ISE 2009, and quite frankly, we're intensely envious of the attendees who were able to blow off some steam by grabbing a game on this. Obligatory video is just past the break.

i'll take 2 thanks

I'd still rather have a real air hockey table, though.

hmm, what to put in my new arcade? a real air hockey table that costs a fraction of a 103 inch touch panel plasma, or the plasma that some punk kids can easily destroy with their heavy hands and sticky fingers. decisions decisions. jk, that thing is sweet
