Between the Apple iPhone and Microsoft's interactive table, multi-touch displays are all the rage. This instructable will show you how to turn your lcd projector into an interactive multi-touch display table using a few cheap components readily available from the hardware store.

The application is the touchlib 'smoke' demo. There are a bunch of people out there working on open multitouch libraries now so expect it to get better and better in the coming years. It doesn't take much to build your own multitouch rig and the nuigroup is even sells kits now. If you'd like to help contact the nuigroup. Definately grab touchlib and start playing!

I saw something similar to this project on the TED DVD (only available through netflix sadly, but worth joining netflix for this alone). The guy's name is Jeff Han, and there is a demo on the TED site (its also on youtube.)

The DVD is called "the future we will create: Inside the world of TED". I highly recommend this video to all Makers.
