Perceptive Pixel takes new approach to touch

Fast Company: Technologist and inventor Jefferson Han has recently been approached by Lockheed Martin, Pixar and various government agencies about his new multi-touch technology, which drew cheers and whistling at last year's TED (technology, entertainment and design) conference. (Watch the live demonstration.)

"Touch is one of the most intuitive things in the world," Han says. "Instead of being one step removed, like you are with a mouse and keyboard, you have direct manipulation. It's a completely natural reaction — to see an object and want to touch it."
