David Pogue on Multi-Touch: The full version

[sososowhat]

Pogue's column today is fascinating: the guy (maybe) behind multi-touch is Jeff Han.

​

(pogue):You can see Jeff Han narrating this demo in this video, although with bad camerawork here. In any case, I spent quite awhile trying it out, and it’s spectacular

From that column :

"After the Jobs demo, I called Jeff Han, fully expecting to hear how angry he was that Apple had stolen his idea without permission or consultation (it’s happened before).

Instead, he knew all about Apple’s project. He didn’t say that Apple bought his technology, nor that Apple stole it—only that he’d known what had happened, and that there was a lot he wasn’t allowed to say."

Wow that UI thing totally reminds me of Minority Report. I can't believe stuff like this actually exists right now.
