Perceptive Pixel presented their 27-inch multitouch desktop monitor at Autodesk University. You can tap, gesture, and use a stylus—or do all of them at the same time. The software looks extremely polished as well in terms of animation fluidity, and on top of that, they've devised "palm-rejection" technology that allows you to lay your palm on the surface as you would a piece of paper without triggering touch.
