Neat solution for RPG battlemaps

Projecting the map onto a table. [Link]
This is a shot from one of the players of the first combat scene of the second session. The iPad software (Battle Map) takes care of line of sight, lighting, and hidden items, giving combat a new perspective for the players.

I'm running Combat Manager (Windows) in a virtual Machine (which is running on it's own virtual desktop) on my Macbook. The OS X side handles GM notes via Growly and PDF/PRD access.

The projector being used is a Optoma PK301 (50 lumens). It is mounted on a modified Mainstay lamp with a flexible end.
