Anyone know if this is real or not? I can hear what seems to be mouse clicking in the background. But maybe that's just the click acknowledgement from the screen itself.

I'm pretty certain this is real. The one thing that is hard to determine is the resolution of the displayed image. It seems to me that the screen was little more than a projected image. The touch-screen part of the tech is very cool but personally, I wouldn't want to have to do voice commands. Voice recognition remains very much in it's infancy unless you're willing to 'train' the VR system. Despite all that, there's huge potential for touch-screens in many genres of gaming, IMO.

Back when I was playing Eve, touch screen gaming was something I really, really wanted to try. I went so far as to contact a few people in my company to try to get a touch screen on loan (some of our products use Planar touch screens) but no dice. :( If I ever get my hands on a touch-screen, I'd probably give Eve another try just for the fun of it.

I'm sure this is real, but obviously prototype. I've seen a similar technology in more of an Alpha state almost a year ago.

one of my teachers had a touch screen system, it wasnt projected however and it was vertical but looked very much like the screen in the video. very much in its infancy not very good screen quality, and not overly responsive to inputs...
