This table-like device is actually a demonstration of Microsoft's Surface technology, which the company had been showing off in London.

It uses a 30" screen, several cameras, a Vista PC and a projector to create an interactive, touch-sensitive environment which reacts to objects coming into contact with its flat surface.
