Have a burning need to install a large, multi-touch screen in your home or office? Well you’re in luck. DemandEvolution has created a multi-touch screen for artistic, office, and personal use that requires a projector and can then scan that screen for motion and react accordingly. Take a look at these wacky videos for a clearer picture.
Essentially you’re creating a vertical Microsoft Surface for $1,800 plus $200 shipping. The kit includes a 50-inch screen, IR touch surface, IR video camera, and software and drivers. All you have to do is set up a projector aimed at the surface and flick and twist your way into multi-touch heaven.
These good folks also make a 30-inch multi-touch LCD for $5,500. It’s a little bit pricey but hey, it’s the future.
I agree. Very Cool!

Wow, the instructable was not very good. The person tried to move something and after 2-3 swipes just gave up on it the photo because it would not move. Maybe it had something to do with the IR camera or the software. That video was not very good.
The Demand Evolution product is much better.
I really liked the look of the multi-touch surface named *cliche* the iTable. Can’t remember the name of the company that makes it, but basically you just buy an IR sensor that goes over any screen (you order the appropriate size, e.g. 32″, 40″ bla bla). So turning any screen into a multi-touch surface, and it was relatively cheap.
Looks like this one is portable and compared to the itable, which costs 59,000.00, this seems cool. Maybe most people don’t want to make new technology in their garage, but instead worry about new ways to use it!
To much for my blood. Whose the artist?
