" Our technique is force-sensitive, and provides unprecedented resolution and scalability, allowing us to create sophisticated multi-point widgets for applications large enough to accommodate both hands and multiple users."

The demonstration video HAS to be seen. I'd like to make a whole ROOM out of this stuff, covering the floors and all the walls. the possibilies are endless.
