Augmented Reality at Allard Pierson Museum (Netherlands)
Here is a great clip showing AR at Allard Pierson Museum in Netherlands in their exhibit "A Future for the Past".
Viewers can look at context-specific content and virtual reconstructions from ancient civilisations superimposed on high resolution imagery.
The clip demonstrates how education can be made really interesting using new technologies that are becoming more and more commonplace and cheap these days. The cost, of course, lies in creating good, high quality content that attracts the viewers and makes them spend time at the exhibit.

Running games on a large multitouch surface
Swedish company Illusion Labs, who promises a lot on their website, has published a HD-movie on YouTube.com showing off their games running on large, multitouch surfaces. Looks fun, and they are maybe on to actually creating the WOW-effect?

Bumptop demonstration on Windows 7 touchscreen PC
The Bumptop UI concept has been floating around, surfacing on YouTube.com and similar places for a couple of years. Bumptop is now available for you to try out for free, and yes, there is a Pro-version for you as well!
Engadget even did a review, found it was nice and all, but that it did not feel quite natural to use. The video shows a demonstration on a Windows 7 touchscreen laptop.

56" 4k by 2k RadiForce monitor from Eizo
Screen manufacturer Eizo has released a new 56" LCD screen with some interesting specifications; the RadiForce features resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, brightness of 450 cd/m2 and 1200:1 contrast ratio.
It looks like the screen has been released with specific markets in mind (medical), but it could very well be insteresting for general users requiring ultra high resolution work surfaces. Imagine Microsoft Excel on this beast!
