The handles are tracked by infra-red sensors, and the software uses that information to make the players spin on the virtual soccer-field in a realistic way. The table was only really built to demonstrate the team’s physics engine, so you won’t be able to pick one up for your games room anytime, soon. Nice eye-candy, but personally I’d miss the satisfaction of hearing that old-school mechanical clunk when you score. [Space Foosball Project via Technabob]
