So I had an idea. I watched the E3 press conference again, the part with the Project Spark demo, and looked at the guy presenting who was interacting with a tablet. It sure looked like it was a Surface (and way too thin to be a Surface Pro). It had the Windows logo and smooth, gray steel back of a Surface as well.
So yes, the guy was most likely using SmartGlass, as the other guy on stage was guiding the game with Kinect voice commands... hmm, I may have just invalidated the argument I came in here to say. That doesn't prove anything, other than that the Surface is capable of SmartGlass integration of the game (and, I would imagine, actually being able to see the world you're drawing on).
Could it be, actually, that "Windows 8 PCs" literally means Windows 8 PCs and not tablets? I mean, tablets aren't PCs... yes, I suppose they can be classified generally as personal computers, but they are sub-classed as "tablets" and that's how they are referred to. It would be different if they said Windows 8 devices, wouldn't it? Perhaps the full game can only run on a computer or Xbox, but the view can at least be extended for manipulation by any tablet via SmartGlass.
