Funai Eco Scan projector adds multitouch to your wall

Engadget saw a demo of the Funai Eco Scan pico projector at CEATEC in Japan, what makes this prototype special is that it can add multitouch capabilities to whatever surface it projects its image on. This product may be commercialized sometime in 2010.
You read right -- if you use this PJ to beam up an image on your bathroom wall, school whiteboard or any other surface, you can count on that surface having multitouch capabilities while the image is live. Once projected, users simply twist and turn the image in order to have it modified in real-time, and while there are obviously far more enterprise-based uses for this than consumer-based uses, there's no denying the awesomeness.
