I first read about this a couple of years back. They have come a long
way. Looks really fun to use now:
http://mtg.upf.edu/reactable/
The reactable, is a state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music
instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous
performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical
artefacts on the table surface and constructing different audio
topologies in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable
flow-controlled programming language.

It was presented at this year's LAC as well. It's a nice device, and
the best thing is, that the software and all that is open sourced, so
you can build your own version as well. (GEM for Pd directly supports
the patterns on the cubes as well.)

Impressive to say the least, is that all done trough imaging processing?
like the only hardware is a computer, a camera and a projector?

Basically yes. (You could do without a projector actually.)
Additionally you need the cubes which are printed with special
patterns (Fiducials) so that their positions and rotations can be read
correctly. You could then for example use the "reacTIVision" software
to read from a V4L-device and generate OSC-messages according to the
patterns that have been recognized, or use the [pix_fiducialtrack]
object to analyze a video stream with fiducials in Pd/Gem.

Is there video of that performance available anywhere? I was setting up
for the jam and missed it. Everyone I talked to who saw it was blown
away.

Are you sure about that:

I'd love to build one....
BTW: http://www.jamespatten.com/audiopad/ also looks quite interesting,
a bit bit higher level it seems from the videos...

Well, of course the reacTable itself is an ongoing, not yet finished
project, but the basic fiducial stuff is freely available, and that's
a major component.
The dynamic patcher system they use in the current reacTable, which is
still derived from Pd AFAIK, is still in development as well and not
yet released. A very early version was presented at the pd~convention
2004, here's the paper:
http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/lectures/tk-geiger/
there also are pictures of the prototype somewhere on that site and in
the Pd book "bang" as well.
Dynamic patching in Pd can be realized in various ways, you don't have
to do it the reacTable way, so that shouldn't stop anyone from bulding
a custom reacTable-like interface. And you don't need to use Pd, of
course, as the reacTIVision software generates OSC.
