I cam across this in future music mag today.
It is a table top synthesiser. You place the elements of you application on the table e.g. osc, filter etc as sort of blocks. By moving the blocks and turning them you change the sound produced. The table shows the connections between the blocks and the wave ultimately produced. It is pretty amazing. If it were April I would say it was an April fools joke but chech it out for yourselves
Check out this demo
It really is like something out of startrek!

I was very impressed when I looked at it for the first time, then I realized it's a wonderful INTERFACE, but modules are totally traditional and nothing new: LFOs, OSCs, FILTERs, SAMPLERs module.. ecc.. It's a modular system, afterall.
Anyway an INTERFACE can deeply influence the overall sound and completely change the way you build things up, so some people can consider it a new way of synthesizing when, technically, it is not.
But it's very interesting especially if you consider that many users can join at the table moving things and rotating elements. Two hands each, all at the same time! Woo!

from the group i am part of (until august anyway) - although I was not involved directly with this project
the software to make table interfaces is opensource i believe

There is a DIY aproach to this.
Here's a DIY touchscreen, slightly similar to ReacTable, but where reactable is 'too abstract' for many, this illustrates (at least) how the medium may develop to be of real use. At least for the loops and bleeps perverts.
Take a look / listen to the >>> VIDEO <<< .(via musicthing) The music may not be top notch, but it is a demo.
These are the people who made that video
http://macrone.de/multitouch/
this is the open source multi-touch library they used
http://www.whitenoiseaudio.com/touchlib/
this is how they built their table

I see in the musicthing comments that the sequencer they are using is written in Proce55ing and is called LoopArena
