The site sounds like they're almost desperate to sell the technology to anyone, but it does look interesting.
Quote:
The TUI technology enables a reader to press the pictures and words on the regular printed ink and paper page and retrieve digital content or launch communication applications like email, IM, and VOIP from a digital appliance like a computer. This technology, in essence, turns the printed material into a remote control to digital content.
The technology is based upon a sensor-based system that is housed where the cardboard in a hardback book resides.
