The University of Groningen, in the Netherlands, has converted a 3D theater into the world’s largest touchscreen, used for teaching mathematics and computer science students interactivity. The screen has a curvature of 135 degrees and is transparent.
It can handle over 100 touch points at the same time. One of the great things about this touchscreen is that it doesn’t rely on any fancy new technology. It was basically put together with some PCs, video cameras, projectors and cheap infrared illuminators.

Just like how ccc hackers had already managed to build several touch-tables out of little more than cheap projectors, cameras, and a pc, long before redmond started to figure out it was a cool thing to do. The magic is in the software.
Now for innovative ways to make it much easier to deploy, perhaps even take it with you. Not just in universities, but wherever there's a suitable surface to toy with. An empty wall, a table in a tent. What have you.
Every living room should have one
