A connection between hands and digital data

The iPhone popularized the idea of multitouch displays and Microsoft brought the concept to a larger screen by releasing Surface, a multitouch table with a with a 'low priced' $10,000 price tag. Building a multitouch table or screen is starting to become a trend as development teams, companies or in this case Eyebeam, an art and technology center based in New York, have started to provide scaled-down and open-source versions of the Microsoft Surface. By sharing hardware schematics and software source code, the cost of owning a multitouch table is significantly reduced. This also fosters innovation by providing an open platform on which to develop novel multitouch applications.

Here are some nice startingpoints:
