Oh awesome stuff man. I’ve had a look at how to do it yourself a while back, and thought it would be a cool project to work on.

hey, well you’ll be glad to know that you can build your own for less than ZAR 2000. I have. check my site for information or contact me for more info. Also check nuigroup(dot)com for open source multi-touch developments

It is being referred to as a surface computing platform….
