this IS for me. this is for my board games.

I remember discussions after the iPad came about how it was useless on construction sites, wouldn't last a month etc. If this is durable enough it could sell nicely. Also, having synchronized 'digital' data might help avoiding some issues like outdated underground blueprints (college machine room suffered network and power shutdowns because of wrong digging location.. how crass)

It's about maintaining some illusion of continuity by messing with video by the frame. They need to controllers because they sit in a dim or dark room all day. And they won't want to touch the screen and get it dirty.
