The LED Throwies are definitely very fun for the first few hours, not  
so after the batteries run out and you have to collect them all  
again!  :)

No, its a big fat multi-touch surface screen, already working and  
built by some metalab guys, and it is *hell* fun to play with .. even  
had me using softsynths and ableton live for a while there!

And there are quite a few other projects to do this happening in the  
metalab these days - I'm part of the Performancer team that is putting  
things together, and we've made 4 of these types of systems  
recently .. very easy and cheap!  Spot the ghetto-multitouch table  
consisting of an old iMac case .. ;)

That is one of the entries from the recent Roboexotica competition  
that is funded by the Austrian NetzNetz division of the government ..  
it didn't work so well if I recall, but yeah .. it really looks good!   
The purpose of this years Roboexotica was to make a robot to mix  
drinks.  I don't recall drinking anything other than this really foul  
vodka orange cocktail that night, but it sure was a hell of a lot of  
fun to hang out with a bunch of robots in a party!
