I wanted one when I saw this video, I immediately thought of how muscle memory could be used to remember how you interact with things. It could be much more intuitively designed, so that things came naturally, without thinking.
At the very end of the video you showed a large track pad below the keyboard, one issue I have had with his setup (like on a 17" MacBook Pro) is that I would often touch the track pad with my palms while typing with the keyboard, it became cumbersome to keep my palms arched above the track pad. Another concept could be initiated by something I worked with in Industrial Design, a 3-D Sculpting pen called Freeform (http://www.sensable.com/products-freeform-systems.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_sculpting) this may trigger a multi-motion interface, involving a more fluid interaction involving the feel of real 3-D life. It sounds like an exciting project to work on, let us know how it turns out. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
