Put your eyes on Sprout, a new all-in-one PC from HP that introduces the keyboard and mouse with a 20 point and 20 inch projected touchpad. Company says the Sprout is the earliest product in a new “Blended Reality” array that is meant to re-envision the interface between real and virtual and digital.  With the projector, there is also a high resolution camera and 3D scanner that allowing you to easily upload things into the Sprout just by insertion them on the mat.
The magic of Sprout is in the shade like attachment that sprouts out the top. There are three special systems, an Intel Real Sense 3D camera, a 14.6 megapixel camera, and an HP DLP projector. It appears that the touchpad is made by a special material that is transparent to the cameras.
