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. It makes our write-on walls at Ban­ner seem pretty lame by com­par­i­son. Of course, I’d prob­a­bly just spend hours re-sorting my vir­tual desk and pinch­ing things to all dif­fer­ent sizes. Fun though.
