It's no demo. It really works. It's unbelieveable technology. How does the Tablet work? It has a projector underneath it, projecting onto holographic glass. Under the glass (you can�t see these) are two cameras that triangulate in on the surface of the glass. How does it know that Bill�s cell phone has been laid on the surface of the glass? A barcode on the bottom of Bill�s cell phone."
