"The integrated touch sensor supports up to 32 simultaneous touch points for multiple user exhibits. The 4-inch thin Presenter is protected by hardened 3mm tempered glass and a vandal-proof metal housing."

The display features a Full HD resolution, flicker-free FPR 3D imaging that using an LED backlight rated for 50,000 hours, and is over 2.5 times larger than the Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface 2, Ideum says.

A tissue to wipe up your drool is not included, provided you get past the sticker shock in the first place -- this thing runs $17,500, which also gets you access to the GestureWorks SDK.
