+These are based either on near-field ultrasound tracking, as in mimio http://www.mimio.com, or on extremely skewed video acquisition.  I had in mind the latter, thinking that it might be possible to use video acquisition, with the touchable surface, say, separated from a coated translucent hard sheet of acrylic or something, so that pressure upon the material causes certain regions of the sheep to appear darker (or lighter) than others.  Or, in any case, arranging things such that a pattern of light and dark is what would result from pressure upon the surface.
