Would you wear a projector that would let you turn any surface into a multitouch screen? This video shows you how you can project onto anything to make calls, open email and much more.  

“OmniTouch, a wearable projection system developed by researchers at Microsoft Research and Carnegie Mellon University, lets you turn pads of paper, walls, or even your own hands, arms, and legs into graphical, interactive surfaces…. You can use the palm of  your hand as a phone keypad, or as a tablet for jotting down brief notes. Maps projected onto a wall can be panned and zoomed with the same finger motions that work with a conventional multitouch screen.”
