Multi Touch Screens

by Allison Mooney

Check out this new demo by Jeff Han of his giant multi touch screen. It’s like the iPhone on Ecstasy.

This is the second video from Han, a researcher at NYU (we showed you the first in September). As you can see, it demonstrates some neat selection features, such as interactive menus and point-to-zoom technology. The NY Daily News recently reported
that his company, Perceptive Pixel, will start installing big versions of the screen for "film
studios and other operations where people can use them as high-tech
blackboards to brainstorm on projects."

The death of the mouse might be sooner than you think. Rumor is these screens will come to market as early as later this year. Imagine giving a Powerpoint presentation, then this guy gets up and starts digital fingerpainting. Snap.
