He might be infringing on any number of those 200 patents Apple filed for the iphone.

And this won't be all that expensive either as the key components are:
- an SVGA projector
- a camera
- an acrylic screen (or some other material)
- a handful of white LEDs (might become infra-red later)

That's it. There's a software element involved as well. It interprets the images caught by the camera. Fortunately, it's pretty simple.


So it's not really a touch screen at all? I don't see how Apple based any of their stuff off glowing fingertips on TV, then. The iphone thing is touchy, not seeey. Anyhoo.
