Intel researchers have developed a new, smart touch-projected display using a pico-projector and a camera. The camera recognizes 3D objects in real-life, and use them to create virtual touch-based menus. So if you use it in your kitchen, and put a few vegetables on the counter, the camera will recognize them and offer relevant recipes right on the counter. Intel's system can work on almost any surface - including glass, granite and wood.
Intel's OASIS (Object Aware Situated Interactive System) uses a pico-projector. They released a couple videos showing how it can enhance a LEGO play, and how it can be used in the Kitchen for all sorts of smart tasks.
