Everyone gets really excited about this, but really, using this is no different than a faderbox, except for the pretty colored lights. As someone who actually plays live with computers, I'd think the main attraction is to associate some physical activity and colored lights with what are really conventional manipulations of musical elements.
And technically, it's some sort of magnetic sensor grid, that outputs the position of 3 or 4 pucks. There's nothing that exciting or cutting edge about the programming either. It's a cool grad-student project but nothing earth-shattering.
