A Tabletop for our Tabletop Simulator

Okay, this might sound kinda weird, but here's what happened. I used to play D&D and such with a local group of friends, right? Very traditional, had our paper books and actual pencils and all that. We even had a nice dry erase table to use for when we were drawing the playing field and such. Then people got a bit frustrated with one of our games (for a lot of reasons) so we took a break for a while. That's when I found Roll20 and started playing with some of my internet friends instead. Here's where it gets tricky, though. Now my local group wants to play again, and that excites me. They're fun people. But I'm DMing and I've gotten really used to Roll20. They don't like using Roll20, though, because if they're on a computer doing stuff they get distracted too easily to play the game. What I need is a way to put Roll20 on a physical tabletop. That way I can prepare all my maps and characters like I'm used to, maybe use some macros for things, and generally make use of all the great features Roll20 has, even though I'm playing in a physical space. Does anyone have any ideas?
Do you have the option of a projector or large screen TV that could be used as a reference? Then you could just login as a player and share that tab out for the players to see.

A company posted in google+ that they are now producing touch table top that will run roll20. Let me dig around see if I can find a link for it. <a href="http://prefundia.com/projects/view/gamechanger-virtual-table-top-game-viewer/1289/" rel="nofollow">http://prefundia.com/projects/view/gamechanger-virtual-table-top-game-viewer/1289/</a>

Exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, but I wasn't sure if something like that existed. Awesome.
