Microsoft shows 6 x 4 foot Touch screen Wall

Microsoft's annual CEO Summit was a Touch Wall, based on Windows Vista and Plex: "a 4×6 foot plexiglass screen, a rear projector, a infrared camera and the three infrared lasers".

Microsoft is quick to say that they have no current plans to productize and sell TouchWall. But the potential of the system is obvious -- Prately spoke animatedly about a future where the computing experience is less monitor/keyboard/mouse and more like an architect's desk, with user input primarily directly on the screen and via voice commands, with keyboard/mouse type input used more for data entry or office type editing tasks.
