The size is bigger, like the PackardBell, because it use another technology. With this recognition technology you can also interact with markers, touches or hovering. That`s not possible with PackardBell. Play Box is more like the Microsoft Surface or the Reactable, but also transportable. Thanks for your feedback!

How is this different (as for the hardware part) from upcoming multitouch displays (PackardBell already announced its 1680x1050 20" multitouch display, to be released in October)? This looks perfect to control Live, I'd be glad to spend my money for the software, provided it can be used in other resolutions (to take advantage of a 1920x1200 workspace) and allow for a bit of customization — I might be a bit greedy, the software already looks great as it is.

I got to play it hands one with Marco in his studio :D and the table is VERY smooth. The surface is much ... slicker?... than that of the Lemur. On the Lemur, the screen really is too small to make a really useful layout (IMO), and the friction is too high, but Marco's table is very open and slick. We had 4 people playing at the same time and that was REALLY interesting. Awesome!
