Microsoft has released what’s more or less a stripped-down version of their multitouch Microsoft Surface; in face, there’s no surface included at all. Anyone with a webcam (and Windows) can try it out. From Geek.com:
Although many developers may be waiting for the release of the Surface SDK expected later this month, Microsoft have in fact released another touch-related SDK you can play with right now.
Called Touchless, this SDK allows you to experiment with multi-touch applications with little investment in hardware. In order to use Touchless all you need is a webcam as the video above demonstrates.

A picture of me wearing it, mounted temporarily to some funky yellow polarized computer glasses: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30230927&l=7b22a&id=1055580469
For those wanting slightly more in-depth instructions, I’ve posted a video of the multiple steps I had to go through to make it work.
