I stumbled across this while browsing for interesting new music gear... http://girtonlabs.googlepages.com/sensesurface (look at the movie down the page, not at the top. ick.)
The basic idea is that you've got a bunch of physical controls, at this point knobs, that attach to an LCD screen magnetically. (There is a magnetic overlay that is attached behind the screen.) You place the knobs on the screen, and the system senses their position and somehow sends that information to a particular application. This would be *amazing* for digital music (and probably other media) production! To me, it seems like the possibilities for this kind of interaction are near limitless. But the next step? Having the physical knobs automatically reconfigure when you switch applications. : ) Sweet.
