If you watch the video there is a tube running up from the middle of the back of the table. If this is real then there is a camera hooked up there which is hooked up to some pretty nifty software with item recognition to seperate the individual items that the screen below is displaying.

Other wise I'm calling BS because a video like that could be edited together by probably half the people at my school.

would defanitly be cool to use and great for ideation.

All you have to do is change the table picture to a white background for the fraction of a second while the picture is taken. Anything that isn't white is then an image item that can be manipulated, as with any normal graphics package. Add in some touch sensitivity to the table and you're done. It's brilliant.

It's filled in green when the image is taken - not white
You can see it if you take a close look

and its a multi-touch-screen enabling scaling of images with two fingers

i really WANT this :D
