Quoted from Colsond3:I remember hearing some buzz a year or two ago that JJP was playing with the idea of a subterranean playfield, like black hole, only visible on the LCD display via cameras while the ball was down there.
That is the only way I would want a camera in a pin. The idea of a player cam is terrible.
Quoted from KurtWehrli:And a smartphone, to call without any wires, just unthinkable.
Do you see the point?
It doesn't work that way with pinball. Technology might make them more reliable, better sounds and lighting, but it can't do what you are asking. To much parts and labor and too few sales. If they were making a million of each pin like they do with phones they may be able to cut the prices in half, but not $1000. Technology sure hasn't made a $5000 Suburban 4x4 and never will.
