Now you really wouldn't want to spill your coffee on that

According to the info on his home page...

Interaction on a digital table supports face to face collaboration with the added benefits of digital displays (e.g., real time updates, access to the Internet and rich satellite imagery). Core features of my work include rich whole handed bimanual gestures, speech and gesture input, and multi user interaction.

Application areas include tabletop gaming, military command and control, air traffic control and hospital emergency rooms.

There's more on his blog here and a short article on his invention here

I would love one of these. Inventions like these really make me think we might actually see something along the lines of what we see in our favourite SciFi movies and game.

ATB,

Touch screen and voice control. Nice implementation of those systems, but I dont think id want to game on that angle.

If they can be flexible with the angle and position, I think it would be a hit. Definitely looks like something worth keeping an eye out for.
