At the amazingly beautiful Nintendo booth of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess at this years E3, one of the most astounishing things was sort of a touchscreen on the floor of the booth. The screen showed a little puddle with fish and a wooden bridge across. When you walked over the bridge, it dissapeared; when you stepped into the water, there were wrinkles and when you stepped onto a fish, they fled away.

I know that all the local movie theaters have things like this in their lobby, and it displays random adds and depending on what you do you can "break" the add or splash it away or put holes in it...it's rather neat
Why not?

Know what happened when i saw it first? I smiled. Just like everything else Nintendo. It makes me happy and i enjoy playing with it.
to be fair, this technology wasn't made by Nintendo, but by a company a few years ago named reactrix.
So what sort of technology makes this possible? Is it a Revolution? From information I've gleaned, this technology has been around for several years now. In fact, I sent an email and confirmed it was created by a company called Reactrix. Reactrix describes its product as an "interactive media display solution that enables people to physically become part of and interact with visual content." Prior to E3, Nintendo contacted the company to provide the koi pond flair to enhance an already cool booth. To accomplish these displays, Reactrix uses a hardware and software platform incorporating a proprietary infrared technology, an LCD video projector, and a simple display surface such as a floor or wall. Reactrix charges about $2,500 for a 30-second spot.

perhaps the mall soccer game can be called "free", but not a display at E3 since it's not open to the general public.

they don't get money for being at E3...they pay to be at E3, the expo lplace gets the money, not nintendo, so technically it's still free, provided you are there
