Regardless of where you stand on the iPhone, it was hard to remain unimpressed by the demo of the multitouch screen. Watching Steve Jobs pinching photos smaller and bigger was a real oooo moment. (Although, putting it that way makes it sound a little underwhelming.)
Now, it looks like we might get this technology on a large scale. Jeff Han, one of the brains behind multitouch has created a new company Perceptive Pixel to develop large screen versions of the technology. You can see a pretty mesmerising video here:
You can also see Jeff demonstrating the technology back in February 2006 at TED.
I badly want some of this. Of course, I'd probably just spend hours re-sorting my virtual desk and pinching things to all different sizes. Fun though.
