One other cool thing I saw at the super-funky Panasonic Center last week was the company‘s take on a wall-mounted surface computer.
The dully named Digital Wall might not do multi-touch, but the size of the thing makes it a must-see if you ever get down there. Here’s a short, dark-as-hell video, but you get the idea:
Update: I’ve had some emails asking if this is a mock-up or not - it definitely ain’t. I was able to take it for a spin after the demo and found it pretty responsive and very impressive. The piano demo included in the kid-themed ‘room’ is a little weak because it can handle just one input at a time but, apparently, they’re working on that.
