Hi,

(Lynn, you are also on this list, right?)

"I'm wondering if you know of anyone that is developing games for use on 
interactive touch-screens or tables. "

The HKU did several projects like that. Here are some of the ones that came 
into mind first:

Apart-Spel:
http://www.apart-spel.nl/
http://kmt.hku.nl/~xchange/magazijn03/09_03.html (dutch HKU link)

Entertable/Entertaible games (HKU for Philips):
http://www.research.philips.com/initiatives/entertaible/index.html
http://kmt.hku.nl/~xchange/projecten/projmarkt2006/entertable.html (only 
page I could find at HKU - only dutch, nothing much)
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/ces/entertaible-lcdbased-board-gaming-from-philips-146788.php 
(with pics of the HKU game)

Verhalentafel ("storytable" - not to be confused with Storytable(c) from The 
Waag Society):
http://kmt.hku.nl/~xchange/projecten/verhalentafel/verhalentafel.html (only 
dutch)

Something like that or... ?

Greets,

Ries

>>I recently learned about  Microsoft Research about "Surface Computing" and

>>
>>If you scroll down on my blog, you'll see some video demos of what I

>>Ubiquitous Computing classes.  The demos are on a wall-mounted touch 
>>screen,
>>since I couldn't get my hands on a touch-table.  The applications aren't
>>games, but could be used as the basis for educational games.  Since I'm a
>>school psychologist, I'd like to develop educational/edutainment games for
>>interactive surfaces, especially for "at-risk" students and students who
>>have special needs, including those with autism spectrum disorders.
>>
>>I also think that therapeutic games designed for interactive touch-tables
>>would be an effective, relatively inexpensive way to assist young people
>>coming back from Iraq who have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and
>>those who have TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
>>
>>Most of the young people in Iraq were gamers before they enlisted. Some 
>>were
>>hooked into dreams of the military life through games such as "America's
>>Army".   Why not use games to support our troops to help their transition
>>back home?
