Jeff Han on TED Talks

In class we saw a video about "Multitouch computing” which was hosted by Jeff Han . Multitouch computing is as Jeff Han explained it a new kind of technology that responds to multiple inputs by multiple fingers-even multiple users-at the same time and will be seen everyone in just a few years. This new technology will soon transform the way we interact with computers. Devices that have multitouch sensing are able to accomadate multipkle users simultaneously, which is useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and table tops. The major reseacher Jeff Han has spun his research into a startup company called Perceptive Pixel. This company creates large-scale, purposebuilt multitouch screens for military and industrial clients.Perceptive Pixel creates two main types of multitouch machines, a drafting-table display and a huge wall-mounted interactive screen.As for right now the biggest news yet in multitouch is the Apple’s iPhone, and iPods. Soon different kinds of multitocuh machines will be in the world that will help us.
