I can't remember where now, but I remember seeing a video demo of a mixing desk
that consisted of two positively huge touch screens - one as a sloping desk,
the other a vertical panel behind it. It was true multi-touch. The guy was
moving fistfuls of (large) faders on the lower panel and the upper one, as
well as displaying all sorts of info had what I think were routing controls.

It was some time ago and my memory is a bit hazy, but I think it wasn't using
conventional touch technology, but some sort of infra-red array system.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
