ConceptS: Our new Multitouch Wall

Quite a long time since we didn't show our work done in pre-summer-holidays time at IIT delhi's Design lab. Here's a sneak peek into the multitouch wall done by Sparsh team during their IIT Delhi stay. Hail NUI :) The upcoming video will show some custom applications with object marking.
