Maybe some of you have already seen this, but I only just discovered it via a link from elsewhere. I have no idea what it costs, but man does it look cool:

It looks very much like a table I saw at Ars Electronica at Linz Future Lab. The palette, the plastic one he uses to change colour is feels like a perfect match. I am not sure if the table is the same though.

In any case, the one in Linz was rather fancy one. Yes, projected from below, I recall. Table itself felt very good. Also, the fancy thing was that this system was networked, thus allowing remote parties to collaborate. Over there they did not show Photoshop though but some software of their own.

Anybody is free to correct me if my memory fails me (again).

It's definitely being projected as briefly described at Techeblog: (http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/ao-pen-table)

"This is for the design professionals, the AO+ Pen Table works in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop, allows user to easily create digital masterpieces. The system can be projected to any flat surface for maximum flexibility".

I still haven't been able to discover any info on who manufactures it and what it costs. Not that I could ever afford it, lol. But I'd love to see it in action and take it for a test drive.

There are some contact details for the Austrian company at the above site and more video of the artist in action.

I'd have to agree with someone on YouTUbe - my back is hurting just watching the guy... cool though not entirely comfortable...

I argree with you. If I had enough money, I would buy a wacom cintiq. Brightess, contrast are good and with 21" you can do more than the tablet above :D Anyway, I'm happy with my wacom intous3 A4 now :D Saving money to buy a workstation is a better idea :D I will not spend money for cool stuffs which it's not necessary :D
