Named one of InfoWorld’s top tech startups for 2008, Perceptive Pixel is the company that created CNN’s “magic wall” map during last year’s political campaign:

Designers could take some cues from this touch screen technology, especially when creating an interface that allows a user to dig deep and yet have a sense of how to come up for air.
Also, the systems are currently retailing for $100k, which is affordable for some ambitious clients. Think digital-out-of-home. Think auto show.

Perceptive Pixel was founded by Jeff Han. I met Jeff at the Wired Next Fest in LA a couple of years ago. The guy is a legitimate genius, it’s nice to see him getting the attention he deserves. The tech industry would be smart to keep an eye on everything he does.
He’s reinventing touch-based UI’s and he’s able to run much of this stuff on existing technology. Very impressive stuff.
