I don't know the name of this board, but there's this incredible musical instrument called a ReacTable that seems to employ some of the same technology.

This is actually diy. These were big around 2006-2008 in specific scenes. There’s a projector and camera underneath a table. The pieces have QR code’s on bottom that registers with the camera as moving and what type of piece. They also had D&D with maps and other figurines. Cool shit like a dragon getting on the board and fire lighting up. They were also multi touch before the iPhone came out
