I did not know that, and indeed that sounds like a very neat piece of equipment.

However, at least as a first draft idea, I'd like to investigate
whether it can be done with a go-board aesthetic. That is, I want the
thing to be made of wood, with the only difference being that the
inside points are actually little plastic bits (i.e. the stub end of
the visual display).

I guess doing it in full touchscreen fashion just seems like cheating.
:-P Plus it just doesn't have that nice click feel to it...
