Is it the future of our keyboard?

Imagine a large trackpad, on which you place your hands while using all your fingers simultaneously. This is a new system developed by Tactiva.

The TactaPad, as it is named, use a camcorder that will communicate in real-time with the system and the computer to indicate the location of your fingers/hands; while the touch surface will move vertically when pressed, providing force feedback and also a 3D-like sensation when acting on object displayed on the screen.
The demo movies performed with MacOSX demonstrate the strength of such an input device.

It is like using a 3D-touch-screen!!

The company is looking for partnerships to develop this input device. The current estimated price might be a problem : 1000$
