to be honnest for maps I would probably use my Tablet PC so no it would be on the coffee table in front of me standing nicely in my field of vision to be able to check it out with the blink of an eye :D
got to remember smartglass is working on phones but also anything running win8/RT (not sure about 7)
but yeah I have done it with a phone on my laps especially for agmes with no maps on which I don't want to waste time with exploration...
I agree about the rest it's the dev work.... but it could be nice to have some stuff on the surface anyway.... touch gives you the possibility to have all kind of mini games in RPGs or other adventure games that you can't have with a pad or it becomes clunky and anoying really fast... (the wheel puzzle's in one of the assasin's creed comes to mind)
and why not mods that allow you to download third party maps with all the markers on it for the people that don't want to waste time.... or make it less annoying to replay a game you haven't played in a while and on which you don't want waste time on things you have already done but don't feel like doing again... that would be great...
also I really want it to be used as a real life gadget for an in game gadget.... you know like if there is a james bond game use the smartglass device for a nice action sequence where you drive remotly a vehicle and create havoc with Qs crazy hidden weapons....
I love the DR3 air strike idea and this to me is more immersive..... I can see myself already, destroy a bunch of zombie, trap them or regroup them in one spot... go to higher ground all that with the pad.... but then put it down and litteraly take out my phone out of my pocket, litteraly light up a cigarette blow some smoke out, pop out a little evil grin and press the big red button on my phone screen and say something like "Yippie-Kai-Yay mother fuckers " and enjoy the spectacle....
it's stuff like that I want to see damn it lol

I think a great idea would be in a type of stealth or spy or straight action game where people could dial in and fuck up someone's game.
Say, something like a .Hack game, where a player is in a battle, and his friend at school erases one of his characters from the combat.
Or say for example a game where there are all cameras in every room, but they only ever function as a window for a smart glass user. That person could tap the screen when he sees a player wandering around and send out an alert in game.
Or howabout a horror game where a smartglass device can be either a friend or enemy, doing things like shutting off lights, turning them on, pinging a loud sharp noise, etc.
It might have cool ideas for a "black and white" type game, where the device functions as a view from heaven, sending lightning bolts or boulders or what have you.
