Microsoft TouchWall inexpensive?

Video with demo: YouTube - TechCrunch's Demo of Microsoft TouchWall

Making DIY versions of Microsoft’s multitouch Surface table seems to be so popular, even Microsoft themselves are getting in on the action. Somewhat bizarrely, the company has developed another multitouch platform, this time coming in a whole lot cheaper than the $10k Surface. TouchWall basically relies on three infrared lasers that scan the surface of a plexiglass board, and an infrared camera to register any touch against it; in Microsoft’s demo of the system, they used a rear-projector, 4 x 6 foot plexiglass screen, and a basic Vista PC running the software app, Plex.
