yea maybe id pay $2300 if it actually had a touchscreen...as opposed to a piece of plastic floating on black gel.

Effect looks cool, overall design not so much.

How is it worth THAT much? I Should make one of these and post it on Instructables. Like LAFOND66 said, its just gel under plastic. You could use dark or black oil as the gel and glass underneath that is illuminated with LEDs on the outer rim of the glass. (Probably better off using frosted glass for diffusion of the light). And for the top layer just some heavy duty plastic sheeting.

@lafond66: I agree this is lame.. and a larger version of a child's toy...

would this even qualify as a gadget?

waste of time, so I can draw lines with my finger, shit I can do that on my window when the temperature drops here in Canada.

What's the practical use for this, surface looks more practical.

That's sorta pretty awesome. I think there might be a good way to conceal the wire... I like it! Too bad I don't have money for it!

Search YouTube for "iBar". Even the videos there have been posted more than a year ago. Definitely cooler, definitely more high tech than this.

It took a few years to make this? If you look, it's clearly a black gel under a layer of plastic (like those toys for infants) with a light underneath it. When something clears the gel off a spot, light shines through. Definitely not worth $2,300. Maybe if it like a touch screen LCD that lit up when you touched it, it would. But this, is just lame.
