LuminAR Bulb transforms any surface into a touch screen

We've all seen gigantic touch screens on the news or in movies, but what if you could achieve the same type of interface by simply replacing the bulb in your desk lamp? That's the idea behind the LuminAR, developed by a team led by Natan Linder at the MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces Group.

I'm sure response time is something that can be pretty perfected, but the lack of key recoil remains an issue, like it is on tablets. It takes growing up with these to be able to properly use them.
