I just got a new toy. Anyone care to guess what it might be? Note: there is some assembly required. I’ll be posting more when I get it up and running.

It looks like what you have there could be input devices. Are you building a multi-touch surface to communicate with your tileUI?

I’m with polyGeek, DIY multi-touch?

I think polyGeek is right. This looks like a multi-touch overlay for Doug’s MacBook Pro. This would explain the USB camera (since the built-in iSight will be obscured) and the soft cloth (to clean the overlay and the Mac LCD before installation). I’m not sure what type of sensor technology is used to decode the touch inputs. Perhaps the decoding hardware is obscured in the grey plastic square? Or maybe that’s just some hashish!

I have no idea, but if it’s a multi-touch screen kit for a MacBook Pro (or any other computer for that matter) sign me up. Where do I get one!?

Looks like a multi-touch display to me. I did some work with FTIR multi-touch screens. It was pretty cool. Definitely interested in your take. Somehow I suspect to see your TileUI in use…

yes yes, y’all are too smart, it’s a DIY multi-touch display panel. And yes, I plan on getting it working with TileUI.
