No, it's real, although he may have used more than one computer.

Take a piece of glass.  Shine infrared light in at the edges.  Point
infrared camera at the back side of the glass.  Due to "frustrated
internal reflection" anything touching the side opposite the camera
will light up with infrared, which the camera can interpret as a
touch.

Now frost the glass and project an image on it (filter out the
infrared in the projected image) and you can have what they've made.

Really only suitable for dark rooms, or rooms completely devoid of
external infrared, although with some modulation that can be
alleviated.

But yes, it correctly interprets multiple simultaneous touches.

They had to re-jigger the OS a bit for that.
