My guess is that no it isn't for real.  Looks like something hollywood
would dream up though.  The keyboard certainly appears to have no feed
back at all, and no current LCD technology I have heard off can make a
screen that think yet (and they all require backlights to be useful at
the moment, which whatever that one is, doesn't have).

Looks neat though.  Maybe someday we can have something like that.
