Researchers at Tokyo's University of Electro-Communications have harnessed Kinect sensors and projectors to turn tubs into touchscreen displays
Called Aquatop, the combination allows people to use more interactive gestures than the usual tapping and swiping methods typical of touchscreen devices. With the Kinect sensor, users can scoop, drop, dunk and pull media. But for the sensor to work, the water must be opaque; here's a demo:
