I've build one last year. Dragging your fingers over the acrylic is a bit annoying after a while, my current setup requires quite some pressure to keep 'wet' contact while dragging. More or better IR light might be helpful, though I'm already using about 10W for a 60x80cm panel. Also the setup needs to be away from direct sunlight, image background subtraction does not eliminate a moving shadow.

Actually this is fairly easy to implement. There are a number of descriptions floating around in the net. Basically you need a transparent acrylic panel, IR emitters, a beamer and a fast camera, minor drilling and assembling skills and a multi-blob video tracker. I'm currently trying to build such a system.
