What are they using for the motion capture? It's obviously not the built in cam on the screen bezel.

@mystery2k8 LOL, it look like they are in a mocap studio and they are mocaping the guy in the suit and the tablet pc in real time.(notice the tracking led's on the side of the tablet) all they have done is parent a virtual camera to the tracking data of the tablet and piped the output to the display.
