We used to have a D&D group at work, and used a Microsoft Surface as a gaming table. Pretty cool way to put up maps, but that was also about as much use as we ever got out of it.
Things like character sheets are just more practical to have in paper, and for looking things up all you really need is a single laptop for the whole group. A digital gaming table with individual screens may sound awesome, but in practice I think everyone involved will prefer pen and paper. And while the Surface worked great as a map display, what would have worked equally well is a standard whiteboard with a grid drawn on in permanent marker. Roll20 and the like are a good tool to coordinate groups playing online, but if you’re playing in person these things just get in the way.
Nice. The Owners desired use is hybrid, so players who can come in to the shop can play with those who cannot. We are currently using individual chromebooks for roll20 character sheets. It is different, but nice for recording hp levels and spells, which is nice not having to erase etc.
i see whats in your Mind. You would need in that case for every player atleast one GPU each AND for every Player atleast one USB controller passed trough to each VM.
with my Approach You need just one good 2000 series GPU or equal Tesla or Quadro from that gen, vgpu unlock it with proxmos, make your vms pass to them a portion of that GPU. No extra USB controllers needed. <------ its Final Form just for testing use the Intel IGPU <---- it should performe fine i assume
in its basic form get those 50€/mini pcs or get a few older All in One PCs with touch Displays OR cheaper Aliexpress Tableds
they need encode and decode funktions and HDMI and USB
