mccormickstudio had a interesting concept that is technologically, and economically not possible. Ok, here is another approach:
A digital video camera points "backward" through the lens board and focuses on a white surface at the film plane. This could be a white scard in a film holder. The camera would connect to some LCD display; maybe a laptop, maybe a portable DVD player...whatever can be made to work.
This is a DIY home workshop approach. It won't give the full pie-in-the-sky features of mccormickstudio's concept, but some of it might be possible. Look what has been done with Blue-Tooth and Wii components to emulate a touch-screen Smart Board.
