Ooh yeah!

Can see this being of great use in the design industry.

Wouldn't have one at home though - my kids make enough of a mess with my screen as it is!!

Impressive, why are we still using keyboards and a mouse?

Very cool.

Another video of it here

It is very cool, although the technology has been around for a little while. I first saw an internet video clip of a very similar (same?) panel being used about a year ago.

Fantastic, and a great pointer into where technology is going! 'Tis my only regret in growing old; not being around to sample where technology is taking us.
Mind you, I did have the sixties.

So in a roundabout way you are saying this is a repost

Er, no thanks - can you imagine holding your arms out in front of you all day? At least when I'm using a keyboard and mouse I've got a place to rest my hands.

There already are some that produce some great results:
