This is the "Smart Board" developed by Living Tomorrow along with Microsoft.

It's a large touchscreen with a range of widget-like apps designed to be used in the home.

This version is aimed at the kitchen and includes a stock-checking application. When unpacking shopping, you can scan items against the screen (using RFID) which notes which items are being brought in. You can then keep track of the items you have in stock.

It also has an application called "Eco Track" (top right) that measures how much carbon your house is producing at any one time.
