Intel Labs' demo of the Oasis Project for your kitchen counter: Gesture and Object Recognition in your kitchen!
Intel's Oasis system uses object recognition that triggers various applications that generate shopping lists and recipes. The system can handle more than one item of food. It includes videos of how to prepare meals, a great feature for people just starting out, or those who are learning to prepare healthier meals.
In my opinion, this sort of application would be useful to people with disabilities that affect memory.

"As a collaborative learning center, the SMART Table enables engaging and motivating small-group learning experiences. Up to eight students can use their fingers intuitively to sweep, slide and spin objects on the interactive screen. The SMART Table's ready-made activities help primary students gain and further their skills in areas like counting and reading."
"The SMART Table also makes an ideal complement to whole-class activities on the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard. It helps reinforce concepts in a small-group setting and ensures students can participate in interactive and creative learning experiences".
