How would you like a room with a panorama of five linked 80″ multi-touch screens?
Oddly enough, the main cost for each screen was a NZ$10,000 (US$6k?) wide-throw projector so that we could project an image that big from less than two feet away. By comparison, the cameras were less than NZ$100 each, with the wide-angle optics at about NZ$5 a pop.
This stuff was at the New Zealand pavilion at World Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan. More than a million Japanese people did in the six months the installation was running, though. Unfortunately, despite doing all the calibration and software writing that made it work, I didn’t get to go and see it myself.
I got good marks for my MSc thesis, though :-) I just wish I had Jeff Han’s research budget…

Re: Here’s one I prepared earlier:
That’s totally hot.
You know what that is (in my mind)?
It’s the new Air Traffic Control.
