Well, for tilt you would need to stack multiple frames on top of each other as they did in that prototype. For a touch-screen you would want it to be as thin as possible, that would mean single-layer. The Kindle Touch and Nook use Neonode zForce touch sensors, too. Here's a nice animation showing the principle:

Does anyone know how the multi-touch stuff is going to be exposed in Linux?
