This reminds me of Pete Townshend's Lifehouse Method project (which is somewhat connected to the Who's classic "Baba O'Riley")

Whoops -- yes, table top, not laptop. The post stands corrected. Thank you. Looked like a laptop to me in the dorky video clip. Here's a better one, complete with psychotic smiley face: http://zdnet.com.com/1606-2_2-6186146.html

I saw Bjork's show twice with this thing, and it seemed like nothing but a distraction. I couldn't hear anything in the music that seemed to be correlated to what the guy was doing with the table. At Coachella it was very annoying because the video screens were always focusing on the fool with the touchscreens rather than anything else happening on stage. The lasers were frickin' awesome though. Microsoft are showing off a touchscreen table that looks pretty slick. Maybe you'll be able to have one at home in a couple of years.

It looks like a lighted Boggle board.
