A lab filled with these surface tables would be fantastic for group-study. If some easy chairs are arranged around, students would love the set-up! I had no idea that an information kiosk is that expensive. In that case, I guess large libraries can probably get a couple to experiment with. So perhaps we will get to see a couple in GL too?

Being a “do-it-yourself” kind of person, I like how you ended with that option The other great thing about DIY is the option to make a larger surface table than might be commercially available. I wonder if there’s any loss in functionality as a trade off. There are information kiosks in many academic libraries that run in the $8-$10K range, so for a little bit more (at $12,500) that would be one MS Surface Table, or a lab of 25 self-built surface tables. Hmmmm…..
