soon I hope we will get the same screens as the one in minority report :) Thanks for the links.
Just read about the monitor:
"The drafting table style implementation shown here measures 36"x27", is rear-projected, and has a sensing resolution of better than 0.1" at 50Hz. Stroke event information is sent to applications using the lightweight OSC protocol over UDP."
Hey, we have an OSC-Client and Server for Squeak! :-) So it shouldn't be too hard to connect to that one...

For those who may be interested
This is an interesting multi-touch capable screen demo. Great for gestures, etc. Also would be interesting to see how such an idea could be utilized in Croquet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp-y3ZNaCqs
Another cool thing that could be utilized as Croquet input is the SpacePad. There are a few other things in the market but this seems to be a reasonable system for experimentation. I am currently assisting a project where motion capture is a big part so have been looking into many mo-cap systems. Most of them are prohibitively expensive. This is not a mo-cap system but can be used as a VR input system.
