When Steve Jobs first introduced Apple’s iPhone at Macworld last year, the feature that evoked the most excitement was its touch-screen interface, allowing more than one touch at a time. The multi-touch technology added innovative new functions, such as allowing the user to easily zoom in and out of pictures and web pages by pinching the screen with two fingers.

But now, a more significantly advanced version of the amazing power of multi-touch technology has been unleashed upon screens much larger than those on the iPhones. Jeff Han, a research scientist at New York University, has developed Pespective Pixel. It's a relatively inexpensive technology that makes large multi-touch screens, which can accommodate 10, 20, or even more fingers.

This article includes photographs and two amazingly spiffy videos (one gives a fascinating music video demonstration of Han’s "Pespective Pixel", the other is a presentation that he made of “Perspective Pixel” at the annual TED Conference in Aspen, Colorado).

    • Okay, it could just be that we have different definitions of "orgasm" and "orgasmic" (let alone "amazingly orgasmic")...and watching this guy move around the visuals was fun, but I have to say, the pixel guy does not live up to the hype. The synth music wasn't helping either. That said, it is fabulous that we are leaving the "tyranny of screen, mouse and keyboard behind." Technorati lanuage is quite dramatic!

    • Microsoft introduced something like this last year, the Microsoft Surface, but its insanely expensive, in to version the cheapest about 5000$ and the top one about 10000$.
