Stop. Rewind. Jeff Han, introduces multi-touch technology back in 2006

December 30, 2008 by Michael Marlatt 

Jeff Han, Founder of Perceptive Pixel, introduced multi-touch technology for the first time to hundreds of attendees at TED 2006 in Monterey, California. If you own an Apple iPhone, or have watched a demo of Microsoft’s Surface Computer, it is easy to understand how multi-touch technology is altering the way we work and play. Companies such as Oblong Industries and Perceptive Pixel, are both experimenting with innovative ways in which to optimize this technology. Regardless of who prevails, one thing is certain: the future of multi-touch technology seems to hold a lot of promise.

Given the growing popularity towards multi-touch devices, it’s worth taking a trip back in time and revisiting Jeff’s initial introduction to this amazing technology:
