Anyone with a yen for hi-tech wizardry on the decoration front will want to get their hands on Lutron's Vierti LED dimmers. Touch sensitive, you just run your finger up and down the LED display strip to get the lighting you want. Touch the bottom section of the light strip and your lights go off or on, while the top half works the dimmer.
It's so much cooler than the rather tragic grubby white plastic nobs of old, no? Available in a range of finishes, from matte through to architectural metals and aluminium and with white, blue and green LEDs, the Vierti will be available this Fall. No clue on pricing as yet, though. [Luxury Launches]

The design is kinda 'meh' - would be nicer if the segments weren't so large. You'd think with the incredible markup on dimmer switches that someone would design one worthy of the cost. This isn't it, though.
Not a new idea (i've installed several similar dimmers over the years)...
Why don't they just hide the controls altogether? No need for visitors to know where on the wall to adjust the lighting as long as you do.
Oh, sweet, they sell gangplates for up to four dimmers. Three of these next to each other would look just like Enterprise transporter controls :D
Here's a direct link, so that you don't follow a chain back through 4 websites and hit a dead end :P

The flash demo is cool.
To pinpoint the launch date a bit better than "fall": According to several online retailers, it will be available September 30th.
